Vermillion Red or Swamp Holly Orange - Very cool and very close to a stock factory paint combo for the 4 door sedan. The Blue was matched to exposed blue on the car's body and also this is the same color as a 1929 Buick and 1930 Chevy (period color).  I think it is closer to Top Gallant Blue.  I think Marquette Blue is a much darker Blue.

Overall Body:                 Marquette Blue  (Top Gallant Blue ?)
Beads and molding:        Marquette Blue  (Top Gallant Blue ?)
Fenders & Sheet Metal:   Black
Stripe:                           Extra Perm. Vermillion  (Top Gallant Blue calls for Swamp Holly Orange Stripe)  Another decision.
Wood wheels:                 Marquette Blue (Although Clean Wood might eventually prevail. )
