Good point! When I wrote her I used "Signora Elvira Ruocco". And given her 
fabulous help, I should continue with that. I also agree that any errors in 
her reports come from the original documents, not her excelent work.

Hmmm... here is my compilation of paint codes showed different ditzler 
numbers as well as different PPG numbers for the two reds. But the same 
Dupont numbers. But as I have indicated, the diferent numbers may result in 
essentially the same color. Here are the codes I have compiled:
AR-303 Alfa Rosso Corsa, used 63-68,73, codes: PPG 71297, Italver #20, 
Ditzler 12924, 16815 and 22345, Dupont 8772LM (lacquer) or 8772AM (enamel), 
(Glasso book says "Originally KF 12924")

AR-501 Alfa Rosso Classico, used 69-70,74-81, codes: PPG 71818, Dupont 
8772LM (lacquer) or 8772AM (enamel), Ditzler 71818 and 71297

The PPG and Dupont numbers I copied directly from the paint boks. The other 
numbers come from various Internet sources of unknown accuracy.

John, also my thanks for your references to the parts book!
