This is my first venture into this chat so I could use some help. My dad bought a new 1941 Chevy Special DeLuxe Town Sedan and my question is related to the color combination it had. Mom said it was green on top and blue on the bottom. Looking at a brochure for 1941, it said there were three two-tone color combinations available. Those quoted are Cimarron Green over Ridge Green, Squadron Gray over Marine Blue, and Nassak Gray over Squadron Gray. Might the Cimarron Green over Marine Blue have been available? They have passed and I'd like to figure this out.

That is correct. There were just three factory two=tone selections available.
1941 was the first year factory two tone colors were available. They were available in 1940 but only as a dealer "installed option" Chevrolet sent insructions to the fealer as far as braek-off points and color selections were involved for the top color only.
Chevrolet used only harmonzing colors only and never would have mixed green with blue. The car involved may have had a later dealer paint job.
The two greens were quite green in 1941 and I believe either one wold not be mistaken for blue.
