Ihad a 48 Packard Hearse back in the 60s it was black with a maroon interier and vinal roof and black leather seat

Here is a pic of the interier of Black Beauty a 359 tri drive the lighting makes it look lighter then it actually is

if your hobby shoppe carries Bager paints try 16-87 DM&IR marroon it may be close to what you want for the interier

I hope to get some soon

Chris do show good pics of the frame when you install an engine in your Volvo Ihave two I want to put engines into the B train looks good

I use both on my models and never had a problem with any except one was Model Master aluminium which took three days to dry I like the Vallejo and Bager for the range of colors and use Tamiya clear red , yellow and orange for marker lights also it would depend on the color you want to use at the time but as I stated I never had any problems with enamels or acrylics
