Engine Paint color for 48 Frazer Manhattan
« on: November 04, 2014, 10:27:53 AM »
I am getting ready to install a rebuilt engine in my 48 Frazer Manhattan.  What color is it supposed to be?  I have seen blue and gray.  The engine in the car is a battleship gray and that is what I saw on one at the Orphan meet in ypsilanti, however i have also seen a number of 48's with a blue engine. 

thanks

Your car should have a gray engine. Blue was common to rebuilders back in the day, Sears being the biggest seller of rebuilts.
