Check out this City of Kingston Ford station wagon parked across from City Hall. This was a standard, utilitarian scheme for city vehicles of all types - cars, pickup trucks, utility trucks and dump trucks. Turquoise on bottom, white on top. Numbers were applied/stencilled in black, three digits. A City of Kingston crest was painted on the door.
Recently, I picked a couple of cars off the layout that potentially could be seen in city service in this scheme, painted and added small numbers to replicate the prototype.
City passenger cars (like the Torino wagon in the pic) were invariably retired police vehicles repainted in the city scheme.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that additional information, A. I need to do a utility Ford pickup, too!
