Default 1931 Deluxe Phaeton 180A

What color is this car? We bought this car to drive at the National in Toledo, and had a great time with it but now we are going to sell it because we need the room. The car runs wonderfully, great power, brakes, steering, everything. But before we put it on Ebay we need to know if it is Chickle Drab? What do you think? Thank you

It may just be the sun or pic angle but it looks light for Stone Brown. Looks more like Chicle to me. I'm not sure if both colors are correct for a deluxe.

Very few colors are true or consistent
Try putting today's chicle/copra against an original chip
Some of the fine points are on or close but others may be just in the ballpark
