1932 Factory Colors Thread

[DavidG]

There were '32 two-tone color schemes offered in both the U.S. (other than the normal entire body/moldings only versions for all colors other than black) and Europe that can be documented in Ford's archives, but none of them involved different colors for the hood tops and hood sides.

In the U.S. the one-two tone combination was offered only in Brewster green light and medium and only on the sedans, Victoria, convertible sedan, standard coupe and sport coupe as the molding configuration on those bodies lent itself to a natural separation of the two colors. The upper body and all of the moldings were painted Brewster green medium and the lower body, hood, and the reveals around the windows were painted Brewster green light. Several examples are shown in the archives photos and sales brochure illustration below.

In Europe, the two-tone combination was limited to the two saloons (sedans). As with the U.S. examples, the color separation follows the molding pattern and only the moldings on the hood tops are painted the contrasting color. While likely limited as to color availability as in the U.S., which specific colors were offered remains to be documented. European examples are shown in the archives photos below.
