Ford used a red with a bit of orange in it....Rangoon Red. My A J Foyt paitshop found it in their books as a paint for early to mid 1960 Mercurys, but the touchup paint I bought matches my replica's "Rangoon Red" perfectly.
It would not be the "almost maroon" you're looking for, though....but if you want a very bright red, you might like that.
Wasn't the blue "Guardsman Blue" and the white "Wimbledon White"?
Cheers!
