1963 Interior color

My '63 Cruiser has a red interior. The metal area around the windows has some light surface rust and I plan to sand and repaint. Does anyone know what color red it is? Thanks, Jim

I had the paint store mix up some super red, which was a color Studebaker offered on Avanti powered Larks and Hawks in '63. The super red was a slight metallic and looked great when finished. I did the window frames, steering column and wheel. I asked that they use the smallest sized flake in the mix. I had them mix lacquer, as enamel on a steering wheel seems to get sticky eventually. Worked for me.

That is the way I was thinking, but had not thought about the size of the flakes. Thanks, Jim in Chappell Hill, Texas

The name of the original red interior color was Parma Red (metallic). The Dupont numbers were 1186-BHI or 96593-H, neither of which will do you much good today. That color is so close to Super Red that I don't think anyone could tell the difference.
