That's "Venetian Red", which was Ditzler DAL70694, Duco 2415-H, or R-M 56V52. The PPG gallon formula was:

DMA311 White 74.3
DMA301 Red 363.6
DMA336 Orange 1149.2
DMA356 Orange 4044.4

Same lacquer paint was used on the interior as on the exterior; exterior was buffed, interior wasn't. Only exception to that was the top of the instrument panel between the dash rail and the base of the windshield, which had a flattener added.
