Re: 1953 Caribbean Firewall/Inner Fender color

I had the opportunity to see a (probably) original '54, even though it had signs of having maybe seen a topcoat touchup at least at some point in its past, with a little overspray on one of the windshield seals.

This one had black firewall for sure, and although the fenders were off (and nowhere easily found) I expect they probably matched as well.

So, it may not still be 100% definitive, but it's definitely pointing toward black from the factory.

I've got a gallon of black epoxy primer on order, and we'll see what the sheen looks like once it's sprayed on (still a ways away)
