This was my dad’s car (before I was born). He traded a new 1950 Plymouth and $2,700 to by this from one of the Barris brothers. It won the 1950 Chicago’s Navy Pier “Best in Show” and was on the cover of Motor Trend Magazine’s December 1950 issue!

HI
I’m weo from weo’s auto art
I’ve always liked kustom 49 – 51 mercs especially sams there always like black or a redish color but this green with the white inside really makes it it stands out with the white gut
I scratch built a 1/25 scale diecast replica of it
and it came out real close to the real deal
THANX AND HAVE A NICE DAY
WEO

Hey my name is Jimmy Herblin and i have a 1977 ford F150 Custom Explorer that i am wanting to get re painted. I have spent a good couple of days on line looking for a dark green color to repaint it with. I was wondering if you would happen to know the paint code for this particular color.
