Forgive me if there is already a thread on this subject. A search did not reveal anything.
I have a 1949 4A. Can someone assist with the color of the engine block, valve cover, manifolds, etc.

Thank you
Scott

on my 1951 4ad everything not electrical or fuel was painted orange and then dropped in the chassis

The engine block, head, gearbox, etc, were painted what can only be described as "primer brown"

Is this the possible color?
This gearbox was not in use since 1968, so it is not far from the production in 1950...

yes, I have seen many that color and pretty sure its right. Ugly but right.

Yes! That is the original colour for Roadster engines - 1074cc and 1500cc!

Hope that helps!

Thank you all. I was assuming it was red from the left over paint, but I now understand it is orange. I will move forward with what looks to be MOPAR orange.

I'm not an American Car Guy, but if Mopar Orange looks just like light brown primer, then that's it!

Mine is orange and I think it's original.

The photo of the gearbox in an earlier post shows the original factory colour, which, I guess looks 'orangey', but to me looks like primer.

As Mike stated, it's ugly, but correct!

This car is supposedly untouched:

I just ordered a litre from the original colour, for a respray, with the gearbox as sample.
I hope in a few weeks I get the paint with the number on it, so I can write it on the board.
