I think that dark blue on the engine was the original colour on the rootes engines too but mine was light blue for some reason!! |

yep that light blue is similar to mine infact!!
I used to think mine had been painted lighter but whilst the engine was in bits I never found trace of a darker blue anywhere so light blue it was when I re painted it!
I decided on spraying the air filter housing a different (darker) shade of grey and did the rocker cover in it too instead of the standard blue. My car is blue as well so there was too much blue. |

I still have my father's '68 Arrow which is all black. This was the original CKD model assembled by Chrysler Australia. I am not sure of later Hunter units but those I have seen have been black. In fact I will probably retain this colour as part of the resto I am doing. I also seem to recall some cost cutting by Chrysler in later Hunters with lack of chromed airvents, interior door handles/window winders etc.
