    Question 1950 56R Riviera paint no.

    I was just checking in reference for the paint codes.
    The paint no. on my car is 24, however I do not see that number in the list.
    Anyone know what color it is, my car is now black however don't know if this is the original color. Might be handy to know what the original color was before I have my paint job done

    Thumbs up

    Thank you Buford26 for your reply, I couldn't find anything about it until now I have the name of the color.
    It's hard to read but as I understand they added 2 colors in the fall of 1950.
