Tunis Blue (Sedan)

Imfalco- How does the car's motion or driver's motion effect the weight ? Motion would effect thrust only .

What I meant was the weight of the driver and passenger would not be a factor until the car is put into motion, cornering or stopping, which are all putting stress on the seat mounts, especially during acceleration and sudden stops. Just like you wouldn't want to anchor your seat belts with them.

Hi, Thanks for all the discussiojn on the seat brackets. As to colors would it have been possible to factary order paint combimations or solid colors of a customer's choice in 1929? I am not too crazy about any of the color choices mentioned above. As long as the car would be correct, I am happy....Thanks Tu Papa

Actually, in 1929 the cars came from the factory with specific colors and if the customer wanted to change the color of the car the dealer would do so at extra cost.

Thanks for the help one and all. This is what makes a great club...So it is possible that a person could have ordered a car with other color options and the dealer painted them?????

In most cases you could not order a special color from the factory. However, since a 1929 Sport Coupe came in certian colors only, when you purchased said car from the dealer, at extra cost he would repaint the car the color you wanted.

Even if the dealer repainted the car a color requested by a buyer it would not be considered "original". So far the VCCA does not require the paint to be "original" or only a color used by the factory on the particular body style. It may in the future however! and then there could be point deductions in VCCA Judging.

Thanks for all the help one and all. I have the seat mounted and have no decision on the color. PS what is "driftwood smoke?"

Dave,
Driftwood Smoke is a grey. I can e-mail you some modern matches for you to look at if you wish.
