: I am modelling a 1930 Coupe and trying to be as authentic as possible in all the details.Aside from gloss black fenders, what were the "stock" factory colors for the body?I've noted that the top was often painted a contrasting color to the body or black like the fenders.
: Also, I've noted that the wheels were painted in a lot of different colors. Did the factory have guidelines that regulated this facet?Finally, what was the standard color of the interior and upholstery?
: I've seen both black and a sand or beige color.I know to you experts this seems like fairly basic series of questions, but any information would be greatly appreciated if you have the time.Thanks.Allen

Allen, Your best bet is to purchase a copy of The Ford Model A as Henry built it, an excellent upholstery and paint scheme guide. Available through most Model A vendors. Good luck with your coupe.

Tom
