Trophy Series Fords were molded in black at first...

...with the '40 Fords going to other colors first. None of the stock '32 Fords were molded in white for some time; the earliest roadster might be the Collector Series issue from '67. I don't think the coupe was molded in white until the mid-Seventies. The '25 T stayed black for a long time because the stock tire/wheel units were one-piece plastic into the mid-Seventies. The C-cab issues had the newly tooled parts in white with the bulk of the kit being black.
Craftsman Series was first called Junior Trophy Series; since those were aimed at "little brother", those were all in color. AMT did fool with color for some '63 annual kits: some Mercury Meteors were light blue as were some Fairlanes. A handful of Fairlanes were molded in a cream color also.
Years ago, I had three unbuilt Styline '50 Ford convertible kits. One was solid white, one off-white, one gray. The Willys/'32 Ford sedan double kit came in different colors also. Most were yellow, but I've got parts molded in blue, red, and solid white also.
