Tim, I pretty much agree with most all that you say, like you I get a little weary of the lame excuse for deviation from originality by saying "it's a Packard, you could have anything you wanted". I do however agree with Highlander about painted radiator shells, I've seen just a very few that were without doubt authentic, especially on Twelves. And of course on customs such as the ex-Vanderbilt Eight 1101 Rollston (pictured below). And on this particular car I think it's a perfect choice for the severely restrained and conservative style.

And, though it's from a different era, non-standard hub caps were occasionally seen on customs, here's a cap from a 1st Series Twin Six by Brunn.
