Agreeing with O_D on the "factory" 2X4 carbs. It is "factory" all right, but the factory is Cadillac! See the chevron on the top? That's really an inverted "V" as Cadillac put the "V" on theirs and mounted their 2X4 air cleaner setup backwards of the way Packard did. Cadillac also painted their units gold.

Also doubting the "Packard" tach; stylistically it doesn't match the rest of the gauges and the top of the "k" in the Packard script tilts way too far to the right. I don't think Packard would have released it looking like that.
