56 Ford Interior Color
I know I have posted alot of car related questions here but I want to say first I do have a truck, 82 F150 to be exact.
But I have another question about my 56 Fairlane. The interior is a light and medium blue scroll cloth interior. I know the light blue painted trim on the interior is the same Diamond Blue as the exterior. My question is what is the factory paint code for the medium blue used on the interior?
I am have looked for months but cant find any information on the code of the interior so I can have the correct shade of medium blue mixed up.
BTW, I wont be able to get those radiator measurements tomorrow, I was off a week I go over there next sunday to where the car is at. I will get the measurements then and we can find out if a 56 F100 fan shrould would fit as a direct bolt in for a 56 passengercar.
Besides that thanks in advance for any that can help with the 1956 interior paint code. With out the paint code the paint shop dont know what medium blue to mix it as since their records only cover exterior mostly.

HI Rusty!
Did you think you were being ignored?
Ha! The color you are asking about is probably "Bermuda Blue." It was the only other blue offered in two tone combination with "Diamond Blue" in 1956. Here's a great link - click on 1956 and then scrol down to the second table:
Ford, Mercury, Edsel, and Lincoln Paint Colors

lol I was thinking I was being ignored. Only one question, would they have used the Bermuda blue on the interior as a medium blue? I got photos of the interior but the colors ar faded and changed. The car on the exterior is Diamond Blue solid with a light and medium blue interior. My all the facts about the 56 ford book (the pink one) said the light blue interior color was the Diamond blue.
I mean it makes sense to ue the bermuda blue as the medium and I hate to say I never even thought of that. I just want to verify it so I can add that to my restoration flash drive of information lol. But Thanks for the reply though. I didnt get a reply on LOVEford forums for the question.
