What color is this?

Post by spacelong »

Does any one know this color. It doesn't look like any of the original color charts. Its very close to Grabber Blue but more turquoise. Thanks for any input.

That's going to be a tough call there. From checking the Factory Lit paint chips for the various years, Grabber wasn't until 1970? Doesn't mean they didn't paint the first truck Grabber Blue just because they liked it though. http://www.fordification.com/library/ma ... ewsIndex=1 Reef blue seems to have been offered most years and has a turquoise tint to it. With the variety of paint manufacturers Ford used, it's hard to nail down.
