Thank you. The '39 Lincoln Zephyr is actually dark green, it’s a '48 Caddy color, and it was painted on Long Island in 1958 by Earl Shibe (spelling). I'm planning on painting it a dark "eggplant" purplish-blue with burgundy wheels and interior dash, console and garnish moldings. The interior will be redone as stock, dark red leather, and carpeting and a black hartz cloth canvas top with burgundy piping. Hopefully I’ll actually finish it one day.

Thats why I could quite place it with in the smallish photo. I LOVE it! PLEASE get it finisihed soon. I'd LOVE to see it in person completed.

In the mid to late '90's I had a '47 Chevy convertible that was a very dark purple, very eggplant in color. It was a '94?ish Camaro color called Hawaiian Orchid. Very cool color. Looked almost black at night.

Thanks Denise, I'll check that color out, it might work.

Well if you DO paint it Hawaiian Orchid I'll insist on a ride once completed.

I'll do better than that, you can drive the Zephyr if you get down to the Tampa area.
