What color paint would be on a 1978, AC 175? When did they go to corporate orange? Has anyone got a powder coat that matches that color?Thanks Tracy

I think "Corporate" orange began with the intro of the 7020 and 7045 tractors. That was in Fall of 1977. You would think that everything going down the West Allis assembly line was then painted that color, wouldn't you ???

Dr Allis, I would think so, but then there would be 100 series with both paint PO2 and corporate orange. Not sure if I have seen both. Tracy

Does PPG offer a paint pallet or chip of all three of the orange colors they used. I want to get some powder made up. Thanks Tracy

Persian Orange #2 always had cream colored wheels. Corporate Orange had cloud white wheels.

A buddy of mine bought a real nice 1980 185, its factory corporate orange. It seems out of place with most hundred series i see.
