1950 Ford F-47 V8 Engine Color
I've asked around a little about this, but I thought it would be worthwhile asking on a separate thread.
Does anyone know the paint color used by Ford on the Canadian V8s in 1950.
The motors were painted a beige.
So far I've found been recommended to look at:
1. Cummins Beige
2. Packard Ivory
3. 1954 Ford Passenger Cream
As close substitutes.
In the pictures below, you can see a 1950 engine in beige, a picture of the side of my transmission cleaned up a bit, and my attempt at doing a colour comparison from paint chips off the internet.

The motor shown above is painted incorrectly from what I've found, and comparing it to my motor:
Engine & Transmission - Beige
Starter, Generator, Fan and bracket, Truck rad hose tubes, oil filter can and bracket- Gloss Block
Engine intake and fuel pump - natural aluminum.
