appears to be a fairly popular color..think I will glue leaves and pine cones on mine just to be different..being the south maybe drape a bit of Spanish moss

That year had running boards?...thought the lower door covered a door sill.

overspray on the radiator support shows the car has had at least one repaint to the current color which doesn't look like a MOPAR color except for maybe engine blue.

Gents,

The clock and scrap value for the rest are worth more than the asking price. I'd be interested in whether or not it even ran except I'm not a buyer at any price so it doesn't really matter. It looks like it had an "Uncle Earl" (Scheib) paint job to cover something but who knows what.

40P10 - I've always called them "hidden running boards" for lack of a better expression. The doors cover them but there is a large (and expensive) rubber mat that covers them like you would find on open running boards.

Agreed on the clock and scrap value...and thanks for the heads up on the hidden running boards...mine are exposed and expensive!

I noticed what I was prepping my car for paint that it had been painted that ugly blue color. Looks like the blue that was popular on a lot of the Mopar muscle cars of the late-60's and early-70's

B-5 blue........

Was I right about the era of that color?

blue is not for everyone, I like your Easter egg car..

I know you do, Tim. You always have. BTW..it's Seacrest Green (a 1946-48 Chrysler color). Blue is a nice color, and that particular blue looks good an the cars it was meant for when it was developed, but not on a 40's or 50's era car

[BobT-47P15]

I think many an old car was painted that sort of blue back when.

It's kinda similar to an original blue that was used.

Nice looking 1948 Plymouth four door on Kansas City craigslist for $2500.00. I don't know anything about it, other than sold with bill of sale.

Yes indeedy:)

edit. It looks more like petty blue.....still the same era.
