Chicle/Copra Drab Color Combo + Black painted wheels
Hello,
Looking for photos of 1930 tudor sedans with the copra/chicle drab color combo and black painted wheels. Google has an endless amount of this color combo with white walls and straw wheels. However, I am interested in in cars with black walls and black painted wheels only. Thank you. |

Re: Chicle/Copra Drab Color Combo + Black painted wheels
I only found a couple Chicle/Copra with black wheels and no 2 door sedans...
Strange because it was a popular color and probably 95% of the 1930 Tudors were delivered with black wheels. It is an attractive combo and seemingly rare now.

Jay Pearcy's "Henry Award" winning 1930 Coupe, painted with correct Chicle/Copra Drab colors and Black wheels.

Re: Chicle/Copra Drab Color Combo + Black painted wheels
Not trying to hijack this thread but I’m curious as to why I’ve seen so many different tones of copra and chicle drab some seem to be variations of tan/browns while others seem to appear as gray/greens? I prefer the tan/brown I wonder which is the correct colors Henry Ford painted them?

Re: Chicle/Copra Drab Color Combo + Black painted wheels
plus some of it could be how the pictures shown on the computer were taken (digital or film), their quality, how they were uploaded (scanned or direct), the specific computer monitor and its individual color/contrast/brightness settings.

I think Great Lakes Greg has a nice picture of his Victoria in the correct chicle and copra drabs with black wheels. The brown tint of those colors match the current Paint and Finish Guide.

I looked up Great Lakes Greg but could not figure out how to find/view his pictures?

Re: Chicle/Copra Drab Color Combo + Black painted wheels
I got part of that wrong. Great Lakes Greg's car was a blindback, not a Victoria, and he did have the correct chicle and copra colors. I may have his paint formula's somewhere. The picture of a Victoria I was thinking of was posted by Badger A. You can find that picture in a thread started by me. Type "Victoria colors" in the 'search this forum' search bar. Art

Re: Chicle/Copra Drab Color Combo + Black painted wheels
The first 2 editions of the paint chips are said to be wrong. The 3rd edition is said to have the correct color chips. Until there is an original car with Copra Chickle Drab colors to examine, these colors remain an unknown

Re: Chicle/Copra Drab Color Combo + Black painted wheels
It's been ages but original chicle/copra does exist
There was an original Tudor at Gatlinburg meet The currently known formula is wrong....too green The original is true brown tones with maybe a hint of green Last edited by Oldbluoval; 02-06-2019 at 06:52 PM. |
