"Crazy 4 Cars" lists Jefferson Blue as code M 1775.

Just curious. Is that the same as Lyon Blue for 1940?

Have your local paint dealer check his antique car catalog for a formula. PPG has formula's for most of the Ford colors.

Hi Dave, My car is a '39 Fordor and it is Jefferson Blue. It was my Dad's car originally. He was the only kid in high school to have his own car, so he was quite a legend in his own time (he graduated from H.S. in 1942.) The car was a project for almost 20 years, so it was painted around 15-18 years ago. I still have some of the paint cans that were used for the job. The cans say PPG DELSTAR DAR 15228 Acrylic Enamel. Jefferson Blue 1939 Ford. I've linked a picture of it in the sunlight for you. I hope this gets you going in the right direction... Let us know what you find out and post some pictures.

Hi all, After 5 yrs of rebuilding a 38 deluxe Coupe it is finally ready to paint. We want to paint the car 39 Ford "Jefferson Blue" to honor a passed friend who had a 39 when we were in H.S. We have been told PPG Deltron "Concept" paint will give us a stockish looking paint job. We are going to paint the color over a silver base. Because we are color-blind and the old color chips are so unreliable, we are asking club members for help in identifying a modern color match that is available in PPG paint. If you have already solved this problem and are willing to help us you will helping put a beautiful old Ford back on the road. Thanks. Dave
