1955 Engine Color

[Studeguru]

Are blue and gold the only colors used in 1955 on the 259 V8 ?

The oil filter was not had a black cover and "Fram Orange" body and some were painted black. Most of what I have seen since restoration are body coloured but I am told that is wrong. Mine must be wrong. I have seen the air filter painted black on some and gold on others.

Gold valve covers are President only- Commanders are silver

It's kinda of a turquoise color with more blue in it. My 55 Commander Conestoga has a silver air cleaner and valve covers. I bought a quart of the correct paint from Chuck Collins, for $8 real reasonable at the time. about 9 years ago.
