Original Paint Clark

Post by welbike »

This Nice Clark CA-1 was in PA for some time owned by Frank Buck in Gettysburg, wonder who bought it? made a high price on ebay!

Note the instruments are not original! and the seat is a repro by Beechwood I believe.

No, think aftermarket, see the Normandy museum Clark pictures for originals, just like in the manual.

Alex,
Great photos. Those will come in handy for all of our rebuilds. I was noticing the paint for the registration numbers. It appears to be the light Ford blue, or is it faded white? Hard for me to tell. I also like all of the details on the battery box, the lights and the rest.

THANKS!!! :D

Oz, it's blue, you can order it from a paint guy in the US:http://www.tm9ordnance.com/products.asp

But then this blue was maybe different as for Airborne markings??

Looks darker anyway,

Alex,
Thanks for confirming that. I will see the numbers on the one in OK soon. It is supposed to be original paint, but I am unsure if it is white or light blue. I hope there are original unit numbers on there also.
