Colors of 1955

I found "out" the color it looks like a mettaic green a think its emereled green. what are the colors of 1955 Cj-5s

 

I have not yet found a website that had any color chips for 55 that were complete, There seems to be a big gap around the mid 50s From what I have found out so far " Steel Glow Gray " made its first appearance in 55. I found some original paint on mine behind the Harrison Heater and mine was originally " Beige Poly " ( kind of looks like a light silvery gray )My Windshield Frame and Hinges were Black, I think the Wheels were Black also but I cant tell for sure If the Off White/Cream color on the outside of the wheels is original or if someone did it later and just sprayed the outside. The inside of the wheels are a faded Black
I am not 100% sure but I think there was a Green that was called " Sea Foam "about that time. I think its similar to the jeep at the top of this page.
Maybe everyone with a 55 that knows what the original color of their rig is/was can post it and we can get an idea of what was available.

 

Thank you Sparky!

 

Thanks!

 

Caught a glimpse of an early model CJ5 at a service station today, Hung a hasty U-Turn and went back to chat. It was a 1955 year model that had been in his family for 40+ years and the family knew the original PO.

It was badly faded but original paint, Yellow ( not to bright kind of like equipment yellow ) with Black Windshield and White 15" Wheels.

I questioned if the Yellow was original and he claims to know for sure its not repainted, I looked everywhere I could think of, Even with a pocket mirror under the dash. The only parts not yellow were the Windshield, Frame and Engine/Drivetrain.
No rust anywhere, lucky dog!

 

On my '56, I found really good samples of the original paint on the cowling, under the ends of the dash where it bolts to the cowling.

 

Under the camo on mine ther is trices of the orig color i found out it's called "Jade Green"

 

Mine is still original paint. The outside of the wheels are the same color as the body, the inside are black. I hope to get some new photos with my NEW digital camera!

 

Whats up Cee Jay you sent me a message about my Vin were is it located

 

I would like to see them, My wheels are white ( more of a cream color under the bright white actually ) on the outside & black on the inside. I thought some PO sprayed them but if yours are stock that way looks like mine may have been.

 

Rumor has it that wheels, color-matched to the body, were an option, else they were white"ish". I am sure Howard can show you some "part number" for that.
