richards47deluxe Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 yup....The tag's first three digits indicate model/body style, followed by sequential body style. nothing about paint color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Yergin Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I have no I.D. plates on my '41 Plymouth that indicates paint color but the build sheet I got from Chrysler includes the paint color. I think the info on sending for the build sheet is on the main section of this site. Jim Yergin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg g Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 what color is the firewall. If the car has not been totally repainted the firewall may be original paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Or - under some rubber strip, or under the fenders or any out of the way places someone may not have messed with the original color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
