VCCA Home Forums Thread Like Summary - Paint ID

I have seen several photos posted on facebook of 51-54 Chevs that are red . I am trying to identify the color as it is NOT a 51 original color-possibly Gypsy red or Romany red and though I have viewed each online on charts I am not sure if either is the one I have seen online. I am attempting to attach a photo of what I am searching for. My parts book list a paint code 481 as Cherry for 1952 and it looks very close . The Saab red for 83 is also described as cherry red. The 53 two tone combo 517 list Target Red and India Ivory so it looks like I will be going with the Cherry red 481 and India Ivory Chevrolet number 25357337.

Note that there was NO red in 1951.
The first real red Chevrolet was a 1952 convertible color only and the same for 1953.

The 1953 red was lighter than the 1952 red.

The 1951 had a color called Burgundy Red but it actually was a maroon.

In 1951 the convertible was available in black, grey, green, blue and cream.
