engine color for 37 V12

Ok, I don't have a V12 Packard, but got a nice old Entex 1/16 scale model of a 1937 V12 sedan in a garage sale yesterday. The kit is extremely well detailed and will be a good winter project. The question is what color should the engine be? It is cast in black plastic with silver heads at the moment. I didn't know if it should be green like my junior series (real size) Packards.

This is probably the closest I'll ever get to a V12!
thanks
