Correct wheel color?
First question, where do I get a copy of the restoration guidelines and judging standards?
Second question, I have a 1930 standard Fordor in Andalusite Blue. I know the stripe color should be Aurora Red but should the wheels be that as well? I thought I read on a thread somewhere that only deluxe cars had the wheels painted the same as the stripe color but I can't seem to find it. I'm planning to rebuild the front axle this winter and figure it will be a good time to get the wheels refinished in either black or red depending on what is correct. |

If you paint the wheels black you know they will have the correct color.

As a general rule the wheels were colored the same as the pin stripe.

Re: Correct wheel color?
According to the MARC website it says gray was dropped in early 30 and switched to red until August. Near as I can tell my car is a June ‘30. There is an Andalusite blue January ‘30 Tudor in our club with the gray stripe.
