The Ford Barn

Marshall V. Daut · 07-16-2018, 08:46 AM

We recently ordered a pair of the fiberglass cowl kick panels for my friend's 1937 Touring Fordor Sedan. Although the catalog specifies that they fit the 1937 and '39-40 Fords, they are supposed to be brown, as I understand it. These are black. No big deal. I will spray them brown, but I have no idea what shade - light or dark brown? Or something in between? The 1937 Ford book only states that they were brown.
Can some kind soul here please post a photo showing original cowl kick panels from his 1937 Ford that will guide me in picking a matching color?

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Marshall

In the Early Ford V8 as Henry Built it book, page 180, it states:
"Cowl panel: Gray Brown Fine Colonial Grain Cardboard"

That said, it is hard to nail down what color "Gray Brown" is.

I did order an interior kit from Cartouche and it came with cardboard type kick panels which were a tan color. That works for me.
