Hi Megan,

There were actually two different persian oranges used by AC. The early version was more of a pumpkin shade of orange. It was used prior to about 1960 and is sometimes referred to as "persion #1". The later version was used after that time and is sometimes referred to as "persian #2". That has more red in it. If you want to be original or just like the earlier shade, you want the "persian #1". Below is a visual comparison of the two different persian oranges. The numbers shown are from the PPG automotive paint lines. The earlier persian is PPG 60080. The original paint (from my'42B) is shown in between the two spots and is the lower V-belt guard for my belly sickle mower.

That would be right (perssion orange) all the way, rims and all. They still look cute with the silver rims anyway.

My 1949 G came new with silver galvanized rims.
Seems to be varying opinions on this.
Have advertisements showing silver on earlier, also.
