Color??

Post by N1VSM »

Can someone help me out here? When I first got my M37, it was the same color as the tailgate for sale - sort of a municipal blue (town/school use). Under almost 20 (!) coats of paint, mine started as OD. In restoring using other T/O parts, many of them had this same blue color inamongst the paint layers. What's up with that blue?!? It isn't a faded Strata blue. Is it?

I think it's CAP, or Civil Air Patrol, or maybe Civil Defense? I have seen a few of them, usually w/ a hand laid, galvanized hard top.

Civil Air Patrol vehicles were painted IAW US Air Force regulations. They were always strata blue. :) Civil Defense vehicles were usually repainted navy blue with the civil defense logo on the doors. The tailgate pictured doesn't seem to be a "faded" version of either color. Hard to say what it is! :(
