Re: Color of the motor on Tbird 56
This has been covered before. Type in some key words in the "Search" box at the upper right corner of the screen like "Engine Color" and you may find this:

Ford Engine Red. Over time it may fade/age to an orangish hue.
Remember that "Search" is your friend.

Bill Hirsch in Newark, NJ has the correct red. I think they call it Thunderbird Red.
1956 Fiesta Red 312
1954 Ford Victoria 312
1948 Ford Convertible Street Rod 302

+1 for Bill Hirsch. I used his paint on my Buick straight 8. Very good quality and coverage. He sells it in both spray cans and in liquid...I used both for mine, depending on what part I was painting, and they matched perfectly. It brushes very well. If you have a paint gun, it can be thinned and sprayed as well.
His colors are generally considered very correct and well researched.
