1942 Ford Staff Car Interior

[Tweener]

Have just built ACE Models 1/2 1942 Ford Staff Car, a true beauty of a build. Somehow, it has at least as many, if not more parts than the 1/48 Tamiya kit!

Now that it is built, I am wondering what the interior color of the car was, as ACE instructions don't mention one. I would assume either light tan or light gray, but can't seem to confirm either.

 

Photo's to come.

 

Thanks, Tweener.

The 1942 Ford Fordor was available in 11 interior colors- including biege, four shade of tan, gunmetal blue, brown, and blue-gray, so it could be any of those colors, but tan appears to be the most common.  

 

Keep in mind, in early 1942 all US automotive manufacturers’ inventory was turned over to the U.S. Government for military or government (national, state or local) use and few automobiles, if any, built were after that date and they would only have been for the military. AFAIK Ford did not built any passenger cars during the war as their facilities were converted for war production. For example Ford’s Willow Run palnt was converted to build B-24 bombers and five of their other plants built Jeeps.
