400 A,That car looks like the one done in that time frame by Charlie McKinnon of Salisbury Mass.He said that color combination was THE way to go at that time.He could name a dozen other guys with their cars done up the same way.There was just no way anybody would leave the original rear mounted spare on the 31 DeLuxe,you HAD to convert to the side mount.I personally much prefer old restorations over new and shiny ones.I have a 28 phaeton that was nicely done in the 80's,the laquer is crazing on that car,but it is,after all,40 year old paint.Still shines though.
