Turns out I can answer many of the questions myself. I have a reproduction Sales Handbook for 1937 Commercial Cars and Trucks. Regarding paint options..."Any one of the standard or optional colors shown on the preceding page can be supplied at no extra charge. On panel trucks, the panel insert may be painted one color and the remainder of the truck another at no extra cost. Refer to your price list for charges for various color combinations such as fenders, hoods, wheels, etc., that can be painted standard, optional or special colors. The cost of these options varies, according to orders by fleet owners, quantity, etc."
I am thinking that I may make the fenders black, along with the running boards, headlamp bodies and headlamp stands. This is a common scheme you see in the Stovebolt Gallery and with the above information certainly would be "factory correct". Brewster Green is a standard color and Black an option.
The sales book has several black and white pictures but the resolution of this reproduction makes it difficult to see for sure but it looks like there is pin striping in the belt line, rather than the whole belt line being colored. In one photo it appears the pin striping on the upper body belt line is a single line in the middle, and the lower body belt line (which is wider) there are two stripes. Unless I find more convincing factory correct pictures I may go with that style.
The Sales Handbook does not show pinstriping of the wheels, like you would have with Advance Design trucks.
The only issue I have left is to find a modern code for Gigolo Green. My paint guys could not find that. Can any body help with that?
