Creme on those parts. Not cloud white or new white. As far as the grille screen goes, I think creme. BUT, the 185 came out in late 1970 and had the new color scheme of an orange grille screen with black background hood decals. Your s/n is newer than 1970. I still think creme is correct, especially if the hood decals are creme background. Can't you tell what color the grille screen was painted originally ??

And, I suppose there's a chance the grille shell and screen were painted orange first and then the screen got masked and sprayed creme. Any 180 screen was creme until possibly very late after 1971 or so near the end of their production.

Looks like the grill screen was and still is orange. The hood decal was cream with black letters. Thanks for the info. Randy

Would that serial number make it a 1972 model?
