Hi John and All: Gee---thanks for putting my name in your email! Just kidding! If Chrysler had made color pictures in our car's years, things would have been easier, that is for sure. I have one factory photo---black and white of course---that shows an original 300B engine compartment. The battery caps are a very dark gray color, but not quite as black as the battery itself. I would certainly guess they are red, but who can say for sure? I doubt there exists a color photo of an ORIGINAL battery anywhere. We certainly wouldn't, and haven't, deducted for red battery caps in concours. 300ly, Gil In a message dated 9/20/2006 8:36:13 PM Eastern Standard Time, cotejohnr@xxxxxxx writes: Hi all, Somewhat of a trivia question. Does anyone know what the color of the battery CAPS were originally on '56 models. Don't talk batteries, just the color of the caps.! Green or red......... with documented reference on the color. What say you Gil?
