JYD, I know that shade of engine blue-gray offered (well advertized too) from that well known company is wrong for '32's, is it "OK" for '30????

In fact the dark blue-gray color is correct for 1929 - 1950 engines. If I remember correctly it is also is correct for the 1951-3 standard transmission engines also but I have slept several times since I last looked it up.

The 1951-52 Power Glides were also gray.
