Re: [FWDLK] What color should firewall, inner fenders, and radiator support be?

[William Huff <wbh@xxxxxxxxx>]

My 58 DeSoto Firesweep, looks original, has body color fire wall, 
black heater and accessories and black inner fenders and radiator 
support.  My 300 D, I know it is a repaint but probably original 
colors, is all body color under the hood except engine and accessories.
