I’ve repainted my car back into its factory colour after stripping the previous paint jobs off.
I reinstalled all of the lights, etc and both front side marker lights (amber) in each fender aren’t staying on with the lights on. If I reach into the back of them and wiggle each one they will go...
I’m very curious to confirm the factory paint colours.
According to the firewall tag it’s 2711, and I know that means 27 is the roof and side trim colour, and 11 is the body but I’m having a hard time finding what colours those codes were in 57.

The Windsor was delivered today and it is going to be a very good car when I’ve restored it. Needs rockers and front floor pans, but other than that it’s a very solid car.

The car looks better out of the weeds.
I’m refinishing my 1970 300 convertible, and I’m working on the passenger side fender and door.
I’ve removed the fender pentastar and it is basically all black plastic now from years of abuse, so I can’t tell what the original colour was over the black plastic.

The 58 dodge truck is actually an unbelievably rare Fargo Sweptside, one of 11 made in 1958.
I bought that truck 3 years ago (the photos are 3 years old) and I am 2/3 of the way through its restoration
