Ford V8 Engine Color? Ford Gearbox Color?

[Jim Price]

Sean,
I found the following on this site:http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/f...85to100mid.htm

"As for original paint colors, the Ford and Mercury engines through 1940 were a dark green. Ford cars continued the color until 1942. Mercury engine had a dark blue color from 1941 thru 1948. Postwar Ford engines were dark blue thru 1948. Ford truck engines were generally the same as Ford cars during the years of this group. "

Hope this helps!

Regards,
Jim

PS You can get this green paint from Mac's or on eBay
