Tobs,
I know that painting the tops of the doors is not 'original' but neither is the color. White was not an option choice for 1953, but it's what the wife wanted. After all, this is her car. It will be all original Packard drive train and every other part as I can do and find. I just found a door panel in Pennsylvania that I can use as a pattern and its trim. I am still trying to work on arm rests for all 4 doors as mine are missing or shot.
I can't wait to take the tape off and start polishing it. It will look good, even if not 'Packard' colors.
