I understand what you are saying about the use of replacements parts. It is well taken, my Dad used to have boxes of that stuff. Keeping in mind, that way back in the old days genuine parts were difficult to get.
A lot of our members try to use original restored parts or quality reproduction parts that are manufactured to look exactly like the original. I guess it's because a lot of our cars may be judged sooner or later. Or maybe we do this just because we are a determined bunch.
When I see an asking price way and above what a car should sell for I get very picky and so do others. To me, that owner opened himself up to much criticism do to his reserve number. If he eventually gets close to that number, I'd be surprise. More likely it's the agent selling the car for him that set the price and is looking for a fat commission.
Just another word about the aftermarket parts. It's cool, and I don't mind seeing vintage aftermarket parts used, just don't misrepresent the public by asking an outrageous price that may lead someone to believe it's authentic.

I totally agree with that myself.

I totally agree with RGwiz and JunkYardDog...

Gator!...is this what you were talking about?

Cool!...Bangor Biege with Haverhill Brown fenders!...

In these photos, it dosen't look bad at all.

Notice how the under fender color is painted to match.

Thanks for that site RGwiz; now that I see the color it looks sort-of like the "yellow" on my car or is that cars' tan color off from what it should be?

How yellow was the '32 yellow? banana yellow, school bus yellow, yield sign yellow, light butter yellow, was it a creamy yellow or sharp/bright yellow??

The original owner changing the car from tan to yellow would be a fairly easy change to make.

Thanks again.

The 1931 Chevrolet featured in those photos would look much richer with black fenders. Once again, there is too much brown and tan with no contrast. The color scheme looks good, but not as pleasing to the eye as it would with black fenders.

But if it was offered as a color scheme for 31, then maybe Gator has a fighting chance, povided this car was painted true to form for 31and carried over to 32.
Gator...to me it looks like Bangor Biege. Maybe the lighting in that showroom makes it appear a little yellow.
Notice how the window offsets are not painted biege. Almost make the car look like a Standard.

Since Gator's car is a 1932, then he will have to follow the specifications for 1932 instead of for 1931. Also, the fact that the window offsets are not painted Bangor Beige on the 1931 featured in the photos has nothing to do with being a standard or a deluxe. The solution is that the person restoring the car did not paint it correctly...and that includes the instrument panel too!

I had a stored window frame fall again the left front fender during some wind the other day and it chipped off a piece of paint. So I think I will get the sander out and sand off some paint to see what was there back in '32.

Will let you know what I find.

Thanks for all of the help guys.

So Gator, it looks like we are back to page one.....and Stanislaw still walks with a limp!

I follow the old rule of "measure twice and cut once", except I tend to measure more than twice, LOL.

Making mistakes and having to redo something again is way too expensive...(been there and done that...)

I agree. Maybe the doctors should have measured twice when they fit ol' Stanislaw for the wooden leg...
