Great answer, Warren. It's hard to tell from their message, but I think they might be talking about two separate planes -- a Forney and a 415-C. For the museum, the best place to find photos of the any model's original paint schemes would be in the flying magazines of those years. I'd suggest they go to a nearby city and go through the aviation magazines and I guarantee they'll find the photos they need for the models of that year. Coupes have always had articles in the magazines. Forney, according to my source, started making planes, with serial number 5600, in 1958. On the other hand, if the plane really is an original 415-G, serial number 5015-5081 (some "E" models in that range), then they should look in the 1949-1950 magazines for those were the 415-G production years. (Serial numbers 5082 through 5599 were not used.) Source: "Ercoupe" by Louis N.
