Hi everybody,
Im restoring 1950 conv. frame up.
Now car is ready for paint and new interior in original colors,
because it was changed to pale yellow. Original paint is Nr.12, glacier green metallic.
Does anybody know the original colors for the dashboard and other
interior parts.
Trim nr. is 51. what color is that, or does anybody have a photo
of car interior with that trim?
Perhaps you know somebody who is specialist on 1950 Caddy?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Try autocolorlibrary.com for a color chip of Glacier Green which is the body, wheels, instrument panel, ventilator control brackets, hood pull bracket, door finish panel and window garnish moldings color. Beach Beige is the color of the instrument panel and door finish panel inserts, shift lever carrier, Hydramatic dial indicator, signal switch housing, horn ring hub, steering column and brackets. Trim 51 is dark and light green leather and green carpet. I don’t know where you can find samples of Beach Beige or the leather colors. I got this info from the body parts book. Maybe some other member can help.
