Paint colour

Post by Evos3960 »

Hello Everybody,

Can anybody please tell me what colour the exhaust pipe was on Super np's when they left the factory. Were they silver or black?. I am having a go at showing this year and I want to make sure that everything is as it was when it left the factory.

I am sure someone will know.

Many thanks

Peter

Hello Evos,

on this old advertisement video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz8IqKV6GVU the 'normal' Super Major exhaust pipe was blue, not black or silver!
I doubt they changed that on the NP Super Major, although I've also heard that they changed the paints of multiple parts (Exhaust, inlet, grille, injector pump) during the series.
Also, the US Majors seem to have different color palettes than the European Majors.

You might want to check this thread: http://www.fordsontractorpages.nl/phpbb ... f=2&t=5934, Brian has made a few statements in there that might be of interest to you.

Best regards,

Bonkie
