I would appreciate information/photos as to the correct window trim

wood grain finish for my 1940 Mercury 4-door sedan. Lauren Matley in

Phoenix will be doing the refinishing. I do have a sales brochure but

was told the final product could have been slightly different. Also

wondering if anyone has the paint code for the dash, steering column and

steering wheel. FYI – I found someone that reproduces the grooved dash

trim.

Thanks! Bob

Bob, the correct wood grain finish is “silver oak grain”. This is a

straight oak grain done with a dark (almost black) grain pattern on a

light tan base. I don’t have good photos of the grain work any more.

Tower

Paints, a V-8 Times advertiser, advertised that they had the correct

dash paint colors. I color matched mine to an original glove box door

that was removed from a car in the 50’s. I removed the plastic from the

door and used the color under the plastic.

I thought that this was the best representative of the color, but after it uploaded, it became more blue. I will try again.
