different paint colors

A story that I've heard is, some of the dealers that had one in the lot when the new flambeau tractors came out in 39, repainted the Ls for a "new" look.
 
I was told from the owner that it was purchased brand new in 1938 by his father in law and had never been painted. Is it possible it was painted at the dealer before it was purchased?
 
Hi folks, a friend of mine has a 1940 Case C tractor in its original paint wich is flambeau red. It is in the county of Lincolnshire here in the UK and has been since 1940. MJ
 
My grandfather own a garage and gas station in Ill for years and did body work. My dad told me that he had gotten alot of work from a few case dealers when they changed colors. Dealers would deliver all their L - C and CC tractors with new decals. Dad said he recalls unbolting the rad. fuel tanks. and manifolds and steam cleaning them down. Then watching them get repainted to the new color. The dealers did this to try and get the old models sold.
