  Hi,

  I am looking for the colour or type of simulated wood grain pattern, that was on the inside window trim pieces on the 1940 Mercurys.

  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.
