Let's get this bttt at minimum, and hopefully get some viewpoints. In the US the answer would be Ford red, not sure about in Canada. Never heard of blue being used during those years. Stu

It may very well have differed from plant to plant

I was looking at the pic I posted above and I began to think that maybe this motor was rebuilt at some time and the builder or farmer slapped a coat of tractor paint on the heads.

This is the colour (or close to it) for 1950.
