Evidently the correct name for the blue on my '53 truck is Glacier Blue, but that's not listed as a color for a '52.

Back to Joe's original hijack(!), this is what the first '51 color page (dated 11/15/50) from the Saleman's Handbook says. Ilya might remember there was some question back in those earlier discussions about what this says. It sure looks like the original standard 5 Star option got a body color grille, while the 5 Star Extra got the Argent. Also the Argent was an extra cost item on the Cowl/Cowl Windshield model. Stu
