Maytag

Some parts of Maytag engines manufactured from 1911 to 1916 were painted red. To get some idea of the color red, you would have to obtain an auto-paint color chart and find the color for Chevrolet trucks dated 1979-1982, Carmine Red, and manufacture code 70. The engines of these models were painted dark blue (Navy).
