correct '64 Riv air cleaner color?

[FordsRiv]

I've seen the same air cleaner in black and red. Which is right?

'63 is red crinkle paint. '64 is black with the 465 Wildcat metal disc. Unless it's got the 2x4 option, then it's a chrome, dual snorkel.

Thanks for the help!
Your answer for the non-dual quad '64 corresponds with what I just restored. It was black with Wildcat 465 in the center. I thought that the previous owner had switched air cleaners (he has two 425/465 cars).
Mine is a 401/445 car. Why would they label a 445 as a 465?

[telriv]

To try & pull the so called "Wool" over somebody's eyes. Thinking that 465 means a 425 as opposed to 445 which = 401. Your '64 Riv. should have a 425 from the factory. All '64 & '66 Rivs. only came with 425's. '63 & '65 401's were the standard engine with the 425 being an option upgrade.

Yep. I'd earlier found that mine has a '65 401 in it (LT engine code). I think I'm going to label it correctly, even though that doesn't match this year of car.
That's great info. Thanks.
