(Old Chester Gray : Lincoln : 1928 - 1935)
This brown automotive paint color is most commonly known as Old Chester Gray. Other common color promotional names include Copra Drab, French Brown Deep, and Depario Beige. The color formulation has been used between 1928 and 1935, primarily by Lincoln; but also by Ford, Graham and Studebaker. See the full detailed list below.

The longer Ford paint manufacturing code is M1726 or M1726A. Ford production paint codes starting with M are usually followed by a 4 digit number and the letter "A" indicating its an exterior paint. For example, the same code ending in the letter "G" is common for accent paints. These longer manufacturing codes are useful for tracking paint usage.
