What is completely misunderstood by too many 1930's car owners is that two-tones where the fenders and even radiator shell were painted a contrasting color from the body went out of favor after 1932. The leader in monochromatic color schemes was the '32 Graham Blue Streak. The idea was to present a unified, streamlined, modern look rather than visually separate elements with color as had been done before.

That upholstery pattern in the '36 120B sport coupe looks very 1970's, like something in a Malibu Classic. Wonder if that was the wife's idea?

To how great a solid color 120 looks, a '37:https://mattoon.craigslist.org/cto/d/effingham-1937-packard-model-120/6926029002.html
