Hey Jeep Lady,
 
That looks fantastic.  Did you ever find a good subsitute for Universal Beige?  Looking to repaint my wheels this winter.
 
Thanks

Not quite finished yet, but Mom (now age 91) got to drive it.  She drove it home from the Willys dealership in July 1947 brand new.  Now here it is again "brand new" in the 2012 shiny version of Luzon Red.

Thanks, guys. Right now it's in the final stages of a complete engine and tranny rebuild. Should be driving it any day now. Hopefully just in time for cooler weather. The last few days have been like a blast furnace down here.

Photo taken in July 1949.  My Grandpa repainted the Jeep a bright red the following year when he joined the Davis County Jeep Posse in northern Utah, as all members had their Jeeps painted the same color.  I reproduced the red during my resto as opposed to going back to the original Luzon.

Red48, I like your red 48! My 48 also started at as a red, but is now a funky skyblue/rust color. Sy MY avitar. If I ever am brave enough to do the body work, I think it will go back to the red. It's staying scabby looking for now though.

The color sequence was: Luzon Red - Funky Green (see avatar) - Funky Yellow - Luzon (or as close as we could get it) Red.

Original Luzon Red paint.  The new paint is not the right color, but it looks good.  BTW, I have an original Nason 1948 and 1949 Willys color chart.  I am going to take it and see if I can match the Universal Beige to any modern automobile paint, at which time I would be happy to share that information.  I also would consider loaning (if you promise to return it to me) the original chart to anyone who is trying to match Universal Beige or any of the other colors on the charts.

That, my friend, is the creed of a true die-hard purist Jeeper. Clap
 
As I always say... "Jeeps are meant to be dirty".
 
You're right on the colour, it isn't really a red red. Wine is a good comparison.

Hi Outback,
thanks for your message. The nice thing of LUZON RED is that itsn't a red color !!
Is like a "BOURDEAUX" , like a red wine color .....Wink
The other secrete is not wash the Jeep very often.........To be honest I don't like the very shine Jeeps.!
Thanks again

I'm normally not a fan of red, but I do like the look of it on Charlie's Jeep.

RIP Allen.
Did not know that. Embarrassed No wonder I thought it was a great example!   Thanks for the heads up, Bill.
