interiour color

Hi,

I have a Ford F1, from 1952.

Does anybody can tell me if the interiour color is the same as the exteriour color? Can I paint the whole cab in the same color?

Was there a difference in luxury, so that a more luxurious cab had a different color?

I think to paint him red, but want to be sure before i start.

I also have a problem to find the right formula, to make the paint used in 1952.

By PPG, they can't find the formula, because those are American Colors.???

Is there anybody who can tell me a way to find the formulas for the right color, used in 1952.

I am from Belgium, and want to avoid expensive delivery costs by ordering paint in USA.

Thanks anyway.

I have a 51 F1. Most of the interiors in those years were a cardboard type material. It generally was grey or light brown. You can order them from the antique Ford places.
My truck is hot rodded, so I did my interior grey with grey bucket seats etc. I made my own headliner. See my pics, there is one of the interior.
As for the paint, maybe these links might help...

48-52 F-series were the same color as the exterior. 51-52 had a fancier version called the 5 Star extra. It had 2 tone paint on the dash and doors. It also had some interior door panels also. The was a set of these on Ebay recently.
