However all the pictures I see look like the bumpers and grill are bright white. Bombay seems more yellowish. Do you happen to hace any pictures of a grill or bumper painted with the ivory? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | On 1955-1st series trucks, White was only used on bumpers of Pure White exterior color trucks.

Pure White was the only exterior color that had Pure White bumpers. http://www.1954advance-design.com/chev-specs/1955-1st-t-colors.pdf | | |
