Marilyn, the 49 Mercs came in the following colors; Black. Alberta Blue,Royal Bronze Blue Metallic,Dakota Gray,Biscay Blue Metallic,Barwick Green Metallic,Bermuda Cream,Lima Tan Metallic,Tampico Red Metallic. The Sport Sedan and the 6 passenger coupe came in two tone. Upper body Banff Green Metallic-lower body Berwick Green Metallic or upper body Lima Tan Metallic-lower body Haiti Biege Metallic. This color information comes from the V-8 Album which was published by the Early Ford V-8 Club. A reprint of this book is available from the club and can be purchased on this site. The book does not give the code for each color. This message was edited by trjford8 on 10-27-09 @ 8:02 PM

I could not find paint code "5" for a 1949 Mercury. The paint codes that I found were all 2 digit numbers. See http://www3.sympatico.ca/guinnessd/dmcmerc/codes/serial.html for the paint codes in the 49-51 Mercury shop manual. Tom

Thank you for your reply.The previous owner stated the color was lima tan and I wanted to confirm it. I was unable to find that color in my research.I really wanted to know that it is a authentic original color. Thanks again Marilyn

You can see a representation of the color on Auto Color's website. It is on the page with the 2 tone colors. Tom

Marilyn- Paint code 05 is the code for Lima Tan Metallic, a seldom-seen color on a 1949 Mercury. The corresponding interior trim code for this color is 58 (Green Check Broadcloth), or 60 (Beige Cord). I have only seen one car built in this color, a 1949 coupe I used to own that now resides in TX.

Marilyn, I am restoring my father-in-laws 49 Merc Convertible. It is lima tan and I had it painted the original color. My email address is clinton.moyer@us.army.mil If you contact me I'll send you pictures and would really like to see pictures of yours.
