Great info Tulio.  If I'd known I probably would have painted it gray.  It is a very nice kit and I had no trouble at all with assembly.

I think the color looks great on the car, and you could get a Standard in a De Luxe color. Just needed about $20 bucks more, and a little patience to wait for the car to be delivered. Like most people got what the dealer had, most cars were the three colors available for the Standard, but that doesn't mean your car is wrong. Could be a dealer repaint, or, like I said, had being ordered that way. If there is something one learns in the Blue Oval Universe, is that nothing was black and white. You could get many many shades of gray, so to speak. 

On the book "Ford classics" by the editors of the consumer guide, on page 41 you can see a '48 Super Deluxe Sedan Coupe painted a convertible only color. 

What I mean is, as long as you use a Ford available color, and a Ford available accessory, you are in the "The car came that way from the factory" area. 

There is on youtube a video of a super nice '66 Galaxie 500 XL two door, that the owner asked for the 427 R code engine, AND a Lincoln exclusive color. The car was delievered by the factory just like the original owner asked.
