Doug,
My Bugeye with engine #9C-U-H14193 has a four-bladed yellow fan - but the hub
and square plate that goes over the fan blades are red. It appears to be a
"red" red, not the same as the Cherry red the body is painted. I bought the
car in January of '68 so I don't know for sure if the fan and hub are original.
