1950 Two Tones

Ducor Kid

What were the two tones available in 1950?
I looked at Ditzler car color list and found no listing for two tones for 1950.
Maybe I'm just looking in wrong place.

If I'm not mistaken unlike the 48's and 49's, the '50s only had a single color.  This is a period paint scheme rule that I may break, because I like some of the two-tones from the earlier years so much...keith

According to my Acme Proxlin color charts, there were 4 two-tone combinations in 1950:

QG-32: Gray Mist Light upper and Twilight Grey Dark lower

SP-33: Peacock Green Light upper and Oriental Green Dark lower

RC-34: Golden Gray Light upper and Golden Gray Dark lower

JB-31: Legion Blue Light upper and Revard Blue Dark lower

1950 car distribution bulletin DL.50-5 for the Pacemaker lists the same 4 combos (blue, gray, green and golden gray) but without the actual color names and locations.

I guess we can agree then that this is not an original combination?  Most likely my favorite paint job--the new paint went down like a dream....no spills, no runs and no errors...

Chris, Thanks for the link. I didn't have much luck with my search.

And also was the darker color only below body line on side.

To throw in a little more confusion, the very early 1950's cars were still two toned like the '48 & '49 cars, but only during the first month or so of production.
