A color question

[mtwilsonboy]

Can any body tell me what color the trans was on a 1957 from factory? What color was the pan on that trans painted. I want to make it original color. Any help is appreciated.

They were not painted.  Just bare metal.  Usually there was enough oil from the road tube to keep them from rusting away.

Thanks for the reply. Was the pan unpainted too?
