Hi Jim:

The colour schemes available for your car when new were:
"Alpine Mist with Extra Bright Red upholstery. Sapphire Blue with Extra
Light Fawn upholstery. Ivory with Extra Bright Red upholstery. Coronation
Red with Extra Light Fawn upholstery." "Note: All wheels finished in body
color except Ivory, which has Bright Red wheels."

My '54 was originally ivory. I used a spray can of navajo white for touch up
and it was almost unnoticeable.

The sales brochures that I have all show ivory steering wheels, but mine
originally had a black one.

By the way, the "Alpine Mist" is a light gray/silver/blue color. The
"Sapphire Blue" is extremely close to my present "Dodge Bus and Truck Medium
Metallic Blue".

There were color chips available from England a while back. I don't have the
source available at the moment, but I will keep my eyes open.

"Ole"
