I support your giving your opinion, whether or not I agree with it, but please keep it informed. Koreans and Chinese are not the same. My experience is that there are crooks and honest people in all countries, including this one.

I wish I had a Packard with a foreign Fernandez et Darrin body!

Hyundai's Korean.

You could get a decent set of surrogate 3D coordinates off a scale model like the Hubley ones

the bird is a cormorant, or in the original heraldic crest, a "pelican in her piety"

The higher series ornaments were available as options on the lower22nd series cars. Grafting on an earlier version tends to look like the hack job it is

If you want to see how NOT to execute this theme, check out the current German design Rolls Royce front.

I think Alfa handled it better

the "standard" hood ornaments (I think) are
1) 8, 8 deluxe - streamlined lump
2) Super 8 - stylized donut chaser (look at earlier version of goddess to see origins)
3) Custom 8 - cormorant

But in practice you could option up. There is a 4th option, called "the Egyptian" that resembles 49 Ford, circular emblem in a mount.

the 3 standard ornaments are pretty common parts to find. Learn to spot the common aftermarket swan often advertised as a Packard ornament.

There's a lot of difference between a Su8 and Cu8.

it's a Custom 8. different grille, parking lights, side trim

if it has the hinged arms at the sides, Fulton-style, it is after market. The factory visor curves and screws to the drip rails

the PAC site has the color charts. I think there was a fairly wretched pea soup green, rarely seen

we can I hope agree on this much- "leatherette" really just means imitation leather. The one you describe I believe goes back to the 1920's or earlier as a way to coat fabric. It could be a good top insert material. While PVC goes back to the 1800's, the plasticized (soft) type became available in the 1920's - 1930's. Sheet vinyl was in use by post WWII (and on the Junior doora)and the commercially prevalent way to offer imitation leather. That said, few if any car companies were using any synthetic leatherette for seats at that time.
