Exterior Colour
Hi All,
I have a 1963 F100 Flare Side which is blank on the data plate where the color letter should be, which means the truck came with a special order colour. The only original color is in the interior, and that is brown.
Is the interior color a clue to what the exterior color would have been, or could it simply have been brown?
Cheers

In my one case I was able to ask the original owner. He said he ordered it in Sauterne Gold and Wimbledon White. I was told no such color as Sauterne Gold initially, but it is the same as Sage Gold and was a 1966 Ford color.
If you have a build sheet or original invoice those can help as well.
I did go look at an F100 Ranger that was ordered in Emberglo Brown. Repainted, but in the same color and it looked pretty good. Also had a blank color code. Ordered from Bowen Scarff Ford in Kent, WA (still in business). He had the original invoice, also.

peek inside places like the cowl , fresh air inlets , behind the covers for the fender bolts , etc . those can give you a clue to the original color as not many places repainted a average vehicle to that much detail back then .

Wow, TA that's an interesting '66 Ranger. There is a '66 in Emberglo - not a Ranger - locally but I've never seen the "T" interior in a '66. The Canadian order book I have seen has "not available" scrawled across the "black" option. Unusual in the US too, yes?

Different how? Rosette or not? What is that distinction ND? I thought the ranger seat was plain Mustang, but your info indicates there were two different black upholstery designs used.

Thanks for the reply everyone.
I actually want to paint the truck in the 63 color Turquoise, which I like.
To TA455HO, I have a 66 Mustang in Sauterne Gold, with a white vinyl roof, looks very nice, also, Sauterne Gold is a color in its own right, it is different to Honey Gold, and has a more green tinge to it that the gold of Honey Gold.
Although I do like Emberglo too.
Cheers everyone
