LOVE that car.

Very common to see it in old movies driven by an attractive woman.

all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

Everybody matters or nobody matters.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

by believing all possible evil of evil men.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

Mister, that's a ten-gallon hat on a twenty-gallon head.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

Very nice. One of if not the most flattering colors of paint for the wood trim plus everything looks to be in exceptional unrestored but not museum-quality shape, meaning that if you bought it you could actually take it out and enjoy it once in a while without having a small stroke every time you drove through a puddle or a bug hit the windshield.

Car envy! I'd repaint it for sure...but what color?

Assuming you wanted to stay with a factory-correct color, '48 Chryslers and cars in general in 1948, came with a fairly drab palette to choose from as was the style at the time, partially because paint technology hadn't progressed far enough to allow really vivid colors to be used in a mass-production setting where fast drying time and 1 or 2 coat coverage with minimal or no extra prep between coats were serious concerns. Popular car colors at the time were pretty much the same ones that designer/plagiarist Tommy Hilfiger copied from old Ship & Shore catalogs in the '90s: Maroon, Navy Blue, Dark Green, and at least two shades of grey, Battleship (dark) and Dove (light).

AAAAAAAaaaaccckkKK!

That car's gorgeous as is!

With the wood body panels, I dont' think there's a factory color that really comes close to that.

Maybe some shade of brown or copper.

There were a lot of pastels in prior years, and maybe around that time, that were also gorgeous, but that wood really limits the palette to my eye.

There were also some shades I refer to as 'art-deco' colors that I really like, but again, the wood clashes.

This would be an acceptable alternate for me.

According to the illustrations in the 1948 Chrysler sales brochure, specifically the Club Coupe on page 6, black was a color option that year-

Dude... First you say you love grapes and now you say you consider pea green as an acceptable substitute for pale yellow/cream on a '48 Chrysler T&C? It's like I don't even know you any more, man.
