(Thorne Brown : Pontiac : 1931)
This brown automotive paint color is most commonly known as Thorne Brown. The color formulation has been used only in 1931, primarily by Pontiac. See the detailed list below.
The Ford manufacturing code of this paint is 246-9248.
Dupont codes starting with "244-" or "246-" and ending with a 4 or 5 digit number where used from 1920 through the 50's with a few "93-", "202-", and "210" prefixed codes thrown in early on. "93-" paint codes appear to be reserved for Truck/Fleet or very popular paints while the "202-" and "210" where metallic paints. As new paint types came out more prefixes were introduced. For this report on Dupont code 246-5496, we have included variations with the prefix removed. The remaining digits are a good way to track paint usage between years.
Be careful with Dupont 4 digit codes (i.e. 5496 or 05496 or 246-5496) before 1946. There may have been some reuse in later years.
