If the paint is the original it probably looked better when it was new. Although brown is not my favorite either. The Andes tan from 1941 with its fine metallic I think was pretty nice. Those old lacquers looked great. Packard used that very fine metallic that had great luster. Today's base coat clear is very durable but doesn't have that knock you socks off depth. I'm not big on reds, but those Packard maroons of the early thirties are like - wow. The one thing they sure don't make like they used to are colors.
