That is actually the original Caddy color this came from the factory, It had been re painted several times, and since the body is a wood frame, we could not dip it in acid, sot we put the body on a giant rotisserie and I ground off 60 years of crud rust and paint with several Makita grinders. By the time it was done, I think I had lost a quart of blood to various wire brushes and sharp corners...
