Re: [FWDLK] What color are the transmission and engine in 57 Plymouth Savoy?

Go to  a local auto parts store that does a lot of paint mixing.  Many of them can mix the color you want and fill spray cans.   Argent/silver...is not that hard to make.

Joey, Harry and group,

I agree with Harry.   I had the same experience.   The two local mother MOPAR dealers would not order the paint for me unless I was willing to buy the whole case.   He did give me the number of another MOPAR dealer who had an open case, but... guess what?   You can not have aerosol can spray paint delivered through the mail!   I would have to travel there to buy the spray paint.

Let me know if anyone has come up with a better solution.

Joey,

 

The correct color is argent (gray/silver) and I believe you can still buy it from your local Chrysler or Dodge dealer.  Also if you search on the Forward Look web page you will probably come up with the questions I asked about this and the answers which should include the item number you can use if you want to contact the parts folks at your local Chrysler or Dodge dealerships.  I had to order a case of 12 spray cans .

Hi guys and gals!  What color are the transmission and engine in a 1957 Plymouth Savoy?  My car came home with these unattached.  So I said to myself why not start here?  Is this the best way to go about it?  Floors need some help might have to do a frame up restoration.  Any help on where to get pans, rocker panel and dog ears will help.


Thanks,
