In 1941 there was a Senior color combo that I've admired on open cars, and it was (I believe) the only one where the wheel color was contrasting and not the same as body color or colors (if two-toned), and I think to a large extent that made the combo attractive. Don't know if you care about such details as correctness for your year or not, but the combo was Saratoga Beige with Cimmaron Red wheels. Interior was a combo of red leather and beige Bedford Cord. Tan Haartz cloth top and boot.

It's a 1941 160DE.
