How do you feel about Cognac?

John,

I suggest the color on a 1965 model - Samoan Bronze.

Stunning high metallic, and not in the darker brown range as your posted pic.

Have fun,
Steve B.

My late friend Alan Singer's 1930 V-16 4330 five-passenger imperial sedan.  Don't know who owns it now, but when las seen it was an unrestored original, running pretty well except for some smoking.  The colors are "Beaverbrook Brown" and "Matisse Brown" (the darker one).

A brown 1955 Eldorado is for sale on Hemmings.
Brown is making a comeback!
I believe this color is called "Cubano Cackapoo."
I love it...

 :)  Tom, don't turn your wipers on with them in that position, driver's side wiper should always be on top.  If not, one blade tends to catch on the other, binding the wiper system up which can result in bent linkages or a burned out wiper motor if the ignition is not switched off immediately, should it occur.

Did not know that about the wipers! Thanks! I'll have to check to see if I put them on correctly after pulling them.

Blue coating since removed... Bumper aligned etc... Still lots to do but after sitting for 20+ years it is running and driving well.
