Is this a stock color for this car? If it is, my Cord kit is coming out of the model closet.

I would say that it's painted Palm Beach Tan

In 1936 cord only offered the following colors:

Cadet Grey Polychromatic IM-1671

Powder Blue IM-1669

Cigarette Cream IM-1664

Redwood Beige IM-1673

Cool Orchard Green IM-1670

Rich Maroon IM-1666

Ganges Green IM-1672

Thrush Brown Dark IM-1668

Palm Beach Tan IM-1665

Thrush Brown Light IM-1667

I know for a fact that Cigarette cream is little more yellow than that car.

Exactly what are you looking at? That car is definitely a green of some kind, not tan or yellow. Thanks for the color list, now I can research those.

IIRC, Model Car World Automotive Finishes can match those colours.

Gregg, I would think that it should be because of the type of show that it's in. I'd think they'd only want the best of the best.......and authenticity would be paramount.

I agree that is a beautiful color! I've never seen one painted that hue before!

Bill, there was a fellow that lived here in the area here that had such a Cord Beverly painted that color. He told me then it was correct and that it wasn't a common color too. Ive seen black and maroon more often. I would also contact the Auburn , Cord , Dusenburg Meseum in Indiania as to weither you could do your Cord in that color . Ed Shaver

Here is MCW's web page, they do the 1937 Cord paints....but I'm afraid you might have to spend $12.95 for their reference guide Gregg.....
