1401 ? My recollection is that in 1936 the "01" series was still a legit SENIOR car, meaning wood-grained dash (for 1938, Packard tried to "pull a fast one" on its customers by calling the JUNIOR / "120" series an EIGHT, so these comments only apply to the question about 1936.

The photos these people are referring to (except for the "hot rodded" (lowered) '37 Formal Sedan), are all "120's" which did NOT have wood-grain.

For you "120" or "JUNIOR" series Packards, the correct factory original dash paint was a gun-metal "metallic" silver.
