  • Engine: 56 V8 Rocker Cover and Air Cleaner Color

    What color should the rocker covers and air cleaner be on a 56 President V8?
    Was the Flightomatic painted engine color or left unpainted?
    Thanks
    Bill

    There are literally HUNDREDS of Posts here asking that same info.

    Gloss Black on Air Cleaner on just about ALL except 1955 and Avanti.
    The same on '51 to 1960 Valve Covers.

    The Engine (Power Train Complete Assy.) Fan to Trans. tail, was only painted ONE time, all at once, and all the same, on '56 & '57 it was Turquoise Green.

      I did a forum search on valve cover color and got 52 responses, none of which addressed a 56 President V8.
      Sorry if I cluttered up the forum with a redundant question.
      Thanks for the prompt response.

        Not a problem, Bill. Next time someone searches, your query will simply be at the top.

            Silver/Gray on Commander, Gold on President.
