Re: 12 colors available in 1940

One must be very diligent when it comes to choosing a color if authenticity is critical. That chart in post #16 is a huge example of incorrect data being turned out to the public. I know of at least one law suit brought on due to a person choosing a '40 Ford color from that chart only to find it was not. Kind of late in the game to discover you'd already painted your car the wrong color.

Re: 12 colors available in 1940
Yes, that's the mirror. My 40 came with one just like that.
It was an accessory and cost 70 cents. Available 1938-41 The little" cluster design" screws and nuts are very rare. Cost 6 cents new. Last edited by 19Fordy; 05-22-2019 at 05:34 PM. |

Re: 12 colors available in 1940
This may help someone in the future. Note that black is missing.

Re: 12 colors available in 1940
Glenn, This may also hinder folks. Sahara Tan was never an offering in '40.

Hinder what? You have no idea or set of paint colors to present. Just opinions. Think I at least put up charts. Granted the chart I posted is correct from 29-36. But we will not follow up and bust my balls. Just a chip chart for many yrs. Not 40. Correct me for that. It's almost funny this post is a few yrs old and it didn't go anywhere other then opinion. No paint colors mentioned or defined for 40. Don't fight a battle you have answers or you don't want to share.. Last edited by Tinker; 10-02-2021 at 11:00 PM. |

Tinker, you are correct in everything you are so willing to share with us here on the Barn. I want to thank you for your profound grasp upon, well, seemingly, everything. Your knowledge of 1940 Fords makes mine pale by comparison. Thank you, thank you, thank you

Re: 12 colors available in 1940
Tinker,
With respect, the chart of colors that you show is not a Ford document, but rather from Ditzler, a period supplier of paint to Ford and other auto manufacturers. It is not complete and therefore only partially "correct" for 1928-1936. For example, it is missing (so it seems as the captions are out of focus) the '32-'33 commercial colors, Blue rock green and Golden orange, the two late '32 passenger car colors, Emperor brown-light and Emperor brown-dark, and all of the 1936 Spring colors. |

Re: 12 colors available in 1940
I always think that any pre-war car in Cloud Mist Gray always seem to look good. Just something about that color.

Dennis, I heard that he is or maybe was an English Professor at the local college.

Re: 12 colors available in 1940
Does anyone have an accurate colour chart to post for 1940?
I can find 20 different charts online and they are all different. Also were the colours used available on standard/deluxe and pickup or not? I see people putting up pictures of folkstone grey, and they look tan to me. Under the hood of my 40 pickup there is original grey paint, and it is grey with a slight tinge of green. There is no tan in it. Until i saw all the tan colour pictures of folkstone grey I just assumed the grey was as described. Grey with a tiny hint of green. Any input is appreciated. Kirk

Re: 12 colors available in 1940
I have a 1934 Ford Truck dealer Book and it has a photo showing five trucks and cars from a fleet purchase? See attached the photo is part of the book.

Re: 12 colors available in 1940
Then, just like now, if you had the money, just about anything could of been done. Just cause it isn't listed on some old papers or in a book doesn't necessarily mean it did not happen.

Re: 12 colors available in 1940
There is a photo of a yellow 1940 sedan on the assembly line. I have the photo on my phone but don't know how to print it here. Anybody know the photo?

Re: 12 colors available in 1940
I have attached the Special Paint Request page out of the 1934 Ford Truck Dealer book and notice it does include passenger cars and less than 5 if you want to pay an up charge. I know this is not 1940 rules but I find it hard to believe that the rules would have changed much. See attached.
