Michael,
My 46 (made November 45) was black but the belt color was an off white. I
think it was original....
Good Luck,

I have been trying to get a formula for "emerald green". It is the molding
color for my black '46. Can anyone help?
If you can get me the phone number for the paint store that might have the
old paint chips, then maybe they could give me the formula.
Please and thank you.
