I recently received an article on the 1940 60s which featured a two-tone painted car. My 60s was originally color combination #13, but was painted a solid green after Granddad wrecked it in 1947.
My question is: Did the top color also come across the top of the doors on the raised bead? The example shown in the magazine article was painted this way. I had never thought about it before, and I have never seen another two-toned forty to compare it with - nor have I ever seen any magazine ads showing a two-tone painted car.
Im going to get mine painted soon and would like it to be as it came from the factory.
Thanks,
Bob B.
Hi, Bob
I have seen 41s painted both ways. The full custom in CA...Never can think of his name when I need it, has it painted with the top color INCLUDING the raised part. However, I like the usual way with the raised part body color all the way around the car, and then the top color coming to the top of it, like you mention, so you get the emphasis on the dip between the doors.
