Is that true for all 48-52? I thought I read that the engine color changed at some point. Mine is a 52 with 239 V8. What is that engine color?

I thought the '49/'50 254 engine was a blue/green color. Not completely sure though.

For what it's worth, the period brochures for the 226 I6 showed them to be Ford engine red. That matched my unmolested survivor.
