120 Paint scheme

Post by dgrubbs »

I just stripped and polished my 1947 120. I’m wondering if the paint scheme was the same on the 120 for all years. I know the ‘47 140’s had a grill with only three ribs and my 120 has five ribs. This makes the ‘47 140 paint scheme difficult to do on the 120. I’m thinking the 120 was the same all years. Does anyone know for sure or where I can go to find out?

Everything I’ve heard is that the 120 only had 1 paint scheme.
