Re: Pelican Grey, Canadian and Export Cars
John this raises an issue that I have been interested in for some time now. I have only seen one example of Pelican Grey. That was on a two owner '28 phaeton engine number CA8625 body number F359. When it was restored the owner repainted it a slightly lighter shade of grey. Of interest here in New Zealand period reports of the 'New Ford' list the colours as Niagara Blue, Arabian Sand, Dawn Grey, and Gunmetal Blue.
Of interest years ago I was chasing parts for my '30 phaeton, that had been trucked. I managed to locate two pairs of rear doors, that had been taken off cars in 1934 and put on the shelf. Both pairs still had the original paint on them, and the upholstery cards. One pair was Rose Beige, Seal Brown, Vermillion stripe. The other pair was Mount Vernon Green all over with a Gold pinstripe.
