By Erik Johnson on Monday, April 02, 2018 - 01:42 pm:Lacquer repaint followed by extremely poor storage.
Original factory paint does not behave in that matter. Rust can bloom up through original factory paint but it will not craze or delaminate/peel off in sheets as shown in the photo.
By Richard Eagle Idaho Falls on Monday, April 02, 2018 - 04:02 pm:Some of the high end cars in the Henry Ford Museum had crazed paint when I was there in the 60's. I suppose they are still there. They were original Rolls Royce, Lincoln and the like.
By Mike Walker, NW AR on Monday, April 02, 2018 - 07:17 pm:That car looks as if it were painted with lacquer in the 1950's or 60's. Lacquer was the finish of choice then.
By Don - Conroe, TX on Monday, April 02, 2018 - 07:39 pm:I agree with the previous assessments....looks like a 50’s or 60’s era lacquer job.
For comparison, the original weathered Ford Model T paint that I’ve seen on multiple cars cars tends to have a freckled appearance as seen in the photo below.
Some of the panels on my thoroughly abused 24 Touring look like this as does almost all of John Mays’ 25 coupe...and several other cars I’ve looked at.

Here's the photo I meant to insert.
By Walter Higgins on Monday, April 02, 2018 - 08:34 pm:Lacquer sprayed by somebody accustomed to spraying enamel. The Continental Mark II was Ford's first real venture back into lacquer territory after the war. There still exists the Mark II prototype with original paint that is badly checked. One of the big selling points with those was going to be the "hand-rubbed lacquer" paint jobs. The owner at that time was one of the designers that worked on the Mark II project and he was later able to buy the car. He said the Ford painters, accustomed to spraying only enamel, sprayed the lacquer the same and it checked within a matter of days or weeks. It takes several thin coats to apply properly, not a few heavy ones. That's why there are also very old lacquer jobs out there that don't look like that.
