The striping is barely visible in a few places. It is a light color (maybe silver or white). Here it is:

It has a red stripe. Bright in some areas and light in others. The car has never been repainted.

It looks like Gull grey a 1937 Ford color but without a stripe or is it worn and not showing up in the picture? The stripe should be red or bright vermilion. If no evidence of the original stripe I would think it has been repainted sometime in its almost 75 years.

I enjoyed the picture of your '37. It is a near clone of my first car, grey '37 fordor humpback. I bought the car for $175 in 1950. There was a shortage of used cars, hence the price I had to pay for it. I now have a similar unrestored (original green paint) '37 with 59,800 miles on the odometer. It will pass the 60,000 mile mark next month on the four day Texas 1,000 mile tour.

Don: Congratulations on a great find of an original 37. I once had one too, a Club Cabriolet. Still have the car but in my uneducated twenties at the time, I took the advice of a friend & we stripped and repainted the car. Smarter today, I must echo the other guys on keeping your car original as a great study of the way Henry built them. You are envied.

37don, The '38 Deluxe was even less popular than the '37. But I think the '38 Standard was a great looking car. It is my opinion the '38 Standard should have been the Deluxe model with respect to it's styling and vise versa. The '39 Standard looks like the '38 Deluxe.

Very, very nice! They'll be 75 years old next year! I'm hoping there will be good coverage on them next year in the V8 Times.
