Interesting the engine never had any of the mods done to the oil filter plumbing. Apparently one of the 356 engines that did not have noisy lifter problems or else it does but the owner decided to live with it. The oil pressure sensor is in the wrong port so I would be curious if deliberate and how that affects the gauge reading and how long it has been there or if the restorer just recently got it wrong.

Gotta say - that 2-tone green is gorgeous. Would that have been something done by Packard in the day, or is that a latter-day customization?? Irrespective, looks like a very thorough and 'honest' restoration. Chris

Joe (Tinman), thanks for sharing.

Chris (Packard newbie), I agree, the two-tone color is great.

The color scheme looks like the one on a 1941 Packard 120 Touring Sedan my father sold. That car had an interesting history, and I may write about it. If I recall correctly, the 1941 models were the first Packards in many years to feature two tone paint. I forget the names of the colors used, but someone here may give us that info. JWL

Color renditions are not great in the fact book on site but this would appear to be the only factory green two tone combo. I lightened it up a bit to better see the colors.

John (JW), I didn't notice that but now, when you say it, I think that's true.
Here are two more questions. Could someone confirm or deny, please, that a 180 has the same configuration and marked seven captions as shown in pic # 1 below?

And what is attached to the door in pic #2?

Gerd brings up a question. I looked at the dash earlier and it struck me as interesting because of the color.

Another poster was looking for an ammeter a while back for his car and at the time I thought there were only two choices for the senior models since bronze or silver is all the parts book lists. In addition to the junior models was the colored dash an option for all models and is the parts book an early version not reflecting later changes?

Here is a snippet from the parts book for the oil and temp gauge pair. Juniors seem to have the colors while seniors would appear to be restricted to silver or bronze.

Another vote for the 2 tone green, but the dash I feel would look better wood grained.

This is one of the few times that a woodgrained dash would be incorrect.
That car has the multi-color interior option and that requires it to have a painted dash.
BTW, the 2-tone paint combo looks good on that car and is correct for 1941. But if you look at the before photos you'll see it was monocolor before restoration .
