That's interesting, I have the same two colors, and my wheels are Shannon Green, the lighter color.

Great Information

Your spring went to the post office thismorning.

mr. Pushbutton, the reason you have four different color wheels is that when we pulled the car out of the Indian Village garage 35 years ago we brought wheels and tires with us as all the tires were flat on the car.

My 56 400 is Erie Green and Shannon Green. The wheels are original and are the deep green that matches the dashboard. Mr. Pushbutton, hope to see you saturday.

Before u install the spring be sure to coat the hinge and the contact points of the spring with lubriplate unless there are plans to paint.

The wheels on my 56 driver were Scottish Heather as that car was originally SH and DW. The wheels on my ciurrent 400 were different colors, but mostly black as I remember. I had them painted Eire green, but had the wires redone and have used them ever since.
The PI book covers engine detail. This is a work-in-progress and has yet to cover other aspects of restoration. I did note that blue A/C compressors were a service unit and that is what Dwight Heinmuller has in his Caribbean.

FWIW, my '56 Patrician had the wheels the lighter of the two green colors, I can't remember the trim code, and it's too late to go check. I do know my car is Shannon green and another green, I just can't remember which one is darker.

Could be original. Both repros I acquired (several years apart, different vendors) are dated July 1, 1956 and have rather bland images. While it is hard to tell for sure, the posted pictures appear to be sharper or cleaner than what I have.

Ahh...now it makes sense. Yup mine is missing. I have one on the way to me as we speak.

Thanks all.
