I think you would do well to repaint the car in its original Sapphire (Code F) single-tone scheme, but not merely for the sake of authenticity. Two-tones look great on the Four Hundred and Clippers, but the 55-56 Patrician sedans seem to look more stately in a single exterior color, and the dark blue metallic is a nice color. Just my $0.02.

More discerning owners prefer the tasteful two tones...... Agean Blue and Dover White is widely considered to be the most desirable combo......

As noted elsewhere, you need to start talking to Mike Dulinsky (in the service index) about parts. Reasonable, tremendously helpful, honest. He has junked out over 100 V8 Packards...and drives one himself.
