Chevy Engine Orange. '56 was the last year for red engine paint.

Re: Chevy Red

John;

Wasn't 56 the ONLY year for Chevy Red engines? First Chevy V8's I saw/had in 55 were orange (some with black and some with silver Chevrolet script on the valve covers), then I bought a 56 engine that was red (with silver script). 57's then went back to orange until they came up with that awful Pontiac Blue and generic corporate black. Beyond that, I guess I've seen some other colors on truck engines (yellow and Green).
Sound about right?
