Re: Hub Cap CLOISSONE

Once again on this topic I rummaged through the Detroit Public Library Archives pictures. These are Packard company photos. So judging from the captions does that mean that you can put cloisonne hubcaps on a Super 8?, or 1932 fenders on a 1933 model?, or that a standard color scheme was having a blue hood and a green body?
Obviously Packard was considering some of this stuff, but nothing in the captions indicates these are anything other than prototype vehicles. I deal with that sort of thing all the time. Vehicles come through here to have parts changed during production. As well, the radiator and hubcap cars are 1934 models.
I have yet to find a verifiable period picture of a delivered or in a showroom eight cylinder car, nor a car coming out of a barn with anything other than the standard hubcaps and a plated radiator. Everybody knocks Turnquist except for the mistakes they like.
Pictures one and two - Obvious prototype vehicles with wrong parts.
Picture three:
Artist's depiction of dashboard, instrument panel and steering wheel on 1933 Packard Eight car, Tenth Series, Model 1002. Handwritten on back: "1933 Packard Eight, Tenth Series, Model 1002, 8 cy., 120 b.h.p, 136" whb., sedan ~ 5-p. (body-type G13), instrument panel, production, note: factory photo interior dash."
Picture four: Obviously an error
Picture five:
Packard Co. file photograph of a 1934 Packard three-quarter left side view, top raised, light in color, side mounted spare tire with cover. Inscribed on photo back: "Packard 1104 super eight, eleventh series, 8-cylinder, 145-horsepower, 142-inch wheelbase, 4-person sport phaeton (body type #761)."
Picture six:
Packard Co. file photograph of a 1934 Packard close up three-quarter front left view, top raised, blonde female in bathing suit and robe standing at driver's door, side mounted spare tire with fitted cover. Inscribed on photo back: "Packard 1104 eight, eleventh series, 8-cylinder, 145-horsepower, 142-inch wheelbase, 2/4-person coupe roadster (body type #759). (note the shutters are painted)
I have a lot of time today because I became deathly ill after an airplane flight. I feel like I have typhus. Now I know why Howard Hughes was nuts.
