Default Re: Is This Balsam Green?

Jim From Georgia, I looked in those hard to get at places and still have found the same paint. It’s a darker green with maybe a hint of blue. If I scratch under it it’s just raw steel. This car has been in our family over 60 years but is tired mechanically and it looks. I am going to do a Year One restoration meaning bone stock but not show. Thought I would go with original color but could go with other factory color ( do like Andulusite Blue) So
No harm no foul. The Balsam Green to me appears to be very similar John Deere Green. My guess it could only be the following scenarios.
-Car was repainted early in its life
-is Balsam Green but has changed tint with age and being under repaint years ago.
- a special color for fleet sale, did ford do such a thing?
John
