Paint scheme or code info needed
I'm restoring a 1959 Mercury panel truck and am needing the paint codes for the colour scheme that is red and grey. Does anybody have late 50's paint literature?
Thanks, Haney-Bill

Please when you get the oppertunity, post some Pix of your little beasty.

S.B.
Ahhhh, but does this site represent Canadian FoMoCo colours or American FoMoCo colours?
They had a tendancy to differ somewhat.

I thought so to.
See my concern is the that chart only represents American paint chip colours & not the proper Candian ones ***** is looking for.
Till about '63 or so they were strictly Canadian built as I recall, but there were also some re-badging at American plants/Dealerships, as Father recollects, for shipments down to Mexico.
I've a ? posed at that site to see if they have Mercury of Canadian Paint chip charts from '57-'60.
They'd really be nice to have to get the correct colours on the olde girls.
