Re: Paint color
Instead of just words of color names in a table, you might want to get a copy of the Paint & Finish Guide. In addition to the tables, it has pages of paint chips in it that show you what each color looks like.

Re: Paint color
Good Idea. The Paint and Finish Guide has everything you need to know.

Re: Paint color
Do wheels automatically follow one of the listed colors?

So it is common today to see restored cars with the wheels painted to match the pinstripe. But it is your option. You can also go with black. In 1931, because sales were down during the Great Depression, Ford started painting the wheels of a few deluxe models in a color to match (or look similar to) the pinstripe. The dealers had been doing it for years, so Ford did it at the factory for a few fancy models. The rest of the 1931 models had black wheels when leaving the factory (which some dealers painted over). Hope this helps. .
