Pinconning is the town in Michigan where Ed Hunt and his family lived.  The car now resides in the Harrah car collection in Nevada.  The color was not used on any other K-F products.  I believe that it was customized at the factory in Willow Run.

Fid,
Where did you get that picture of the Piconning Special?  Is it an old picture taken when the car was new, or a newer picture of a restoration?  Does anyone else know, or think they might know, what those 2 green colors are?

I just googled "Pinconning Special" and clicked on "Images"
I have no idea how old it is but that's the colors I've always seen on the car.
