Could someone please help once and for all in giving the correct
67-68 Mercury engine color. There are so many cougar engines
painted the "light Ford Blue" (which is I believe the same color
of Ford farm tractor blue of the same era). That is the color of the engine and air intake of my 67 coupe. We have owned it since
1974 and has never been painted by me. However, in the process
of cleaning and sanding the air cleaner intake parts I am finding
the darker Ford blue under the light blue. Is this the Corporate Ford Blue? Was this the original color? I did not think so as I did not think the engine
was ever painted by anyone but at the factory, could be wrong!
Should I repaint the Ford tractor blue or does it really matter?
I would like to be as original as possible with something as easy
as paint color. Any help would be appeciated.
