I expect the engine would have correctly been silver and when rebuilt
sometime got painted the then standard Chrysler green. Happened to my
Desoto Suburban before I got it and is still ugly green.
Did you get the removable Plexiglas windows or the later roll up style?
Have 50 meadowbrook parts car and great original woodgrained dash for
someone one of these days if they will step forward! Also fantastic
original bumpers.--plus a few mousenests!
