FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)
HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES.

Don Gibson in RG149 would likely know the answer to your question. He is a serious 1951 Ford collector and restorer. His phone number is on page 174 of the 2011 Roster.

I asked my brother, who bought a new Rangoon Red 51 vert in 51, and he couldn't remember either. I'm thinking it was sort of a metallic beige, but the last time I saw it was 54 years ago when he traded it on a 57 Country Sedan. I remember the top was black, and the seats were red leather w/black trim, but I can't remember the dash color.

I suggest that you contact LeBaron Bonney Company if someone here doesn't jump in and answer.

Funny, I used to have a Rangoon red '51 convertible but I can't remember what color the interior was. Sorry.

Ima,

You may have a problem getting the answer on this site as very few of us have information on the 49-53 cars. The best place to get an answer would be the V-8 Club Adviser for the 49-51. The next best place would be the Shoebox forum.

Just after passing on my 50 years of collecting Ford Manuals and Catalogs I have been asked a question from a friend that I could have answered myself but now I an unable to.

What color is the interior trim when the exterior color is Rangoon red?

Thanks in Advance
