This is the Wood Rose color, number 49 on the list:  Not exactly a true pink. The following is in Persian Sand, number 98 on the list:  Not exactly pink, either. |

Strange colours if you ask me 😬😬 Automotive colors were very vibrant in the fifties, sixties, and early seventies in America! |

Interesting with the engine colors. I've seen some with gold valve covers.
 Don't know if it's artistic license or what. |

I saw black, gold and the engine blue color... also dark blue blocks and the lighter Pontiac blue color...
The factory Cadillac color is Dark Blue. It is still available from Cadillac resto houses. The Eldorados used a Dark Blue block and Gold valve covers and Air cleaners... which is what I will go with...

My kit calls for Olds. Engine Blue. Ordered some as you have seen but it's metallic. I may spray some and see what it looks like but I'm not confident. May just go a straight dark blue. Have you found a transmission color yet? I'm not having much luck.  |

Hold the presses. Just found this. Looks like the bell housing is aluminum and the tranny cast iron.  |

My sources said they were painted the dark blue like the engine... my instructions also call for dark blue for both... with that being said I started my engine after finishing up the Bronco and Bass Boat today!!! Here it is so far... I used Ford and GM Engine Blue, Model Masters Enamel... still need to paint the belts flat black...   |
