Beige. The Ford shop coats advertised in the 1926 Ford Service Bulletins are described as khaki with "Ford" embroiderd on the back in red.

I've seen the tan coats with Ford in red, but I don't know the source. I downloaded the pyramid sign from the internet, took it to an embroidery shop, and had a couple of 10" patches made. I sewed them on tan Czech military surplus shop coats that were sold online for about $9 each. Unfortunately those all sold out, so I'll have to find another source for my next coat. (The Czech coats wear out in a couple of years.) :)

Thanks Steve. What color coat and logo would be the correct for around 1924 years ? The pyramid logo, the navy blue coat or tan, khaki ? I see all these variations

My guess would be the tan coat with red patch or embroidery, but I've done no research on that. It could be completely wrong. My use of logo and colors did not involve any study of what might be historically accurate or correct other than choosing an image from the Model T era.
