Blue WH

[Red Headed Horse 38]

Just a quick question. Did WH ever produced blue painted WHs officially or sanctioned dealerships to allow them to sell them as blue WHs? Thanks 

[Maxwell-8 4,275]

you seen one?

 

[ebinmaine 67,222]

Municipal accounts had some yellow ones. 

Not heard of blue. 

 

Others may have different information...

 

Interesting question. 

You have a line on one?

There's one on FB MarketPlace here in the UK, a 1970s Charger model I think?

Remember, nothing about W-H is ever set in stone.

They're not unheard of, a couple have surfaced here over the years.

What model is the one you're looking at now?

Copy and paste a couple picts here into this thread please.

Was it Nick @71_Bronco that had the blue short frame square hood?

To me it looks like a very good paint job carried out some time ago but whether by a previous owner who fancied a different colour to red or was painted by a dealership I cannot really decide.

Is there some red paint under the blue on the grill? And on the motor.

Yes there is certainly red paint on the engine.

Seems the thing was obviously repainted by a previous owner.

I have to confess I am rather taken by the blue colour but I think you're right it had been repainted at some point in the past. Cool patina I think.

Looks like a repaint to me... several areas where red is poking through...

 

 

May want to delete the link in post #7...

Who would in their right mind paint over the wheel horse logo on the steering wheel center.

the same people who would consider this blue paint job “ultra rare” apparently 

[oliver2-44 9,678]

The same type of people that would paint a WH JD green and yellow.

Key words are " right mind "

No worries @pullstart

 

I've never had a blue one, never seen a factory one either. I've seen a couple re-paints, but no factory ones.

 

I did see a recent one on FBM that had a greyish-blue plow / plow-frame on it, like an industrial machine color. Looked pretty nice. Whoever did the repaint did a good job.
