Re: Grey engine paint from Bill Hirsch...

Thanks for everyone's input! I checked out the specs on the paint for Hirsch. ...and spoke to a couple of other Packard owners. I will go with the Hirsch paint.

But, I'm still confused at which color my block should be. I have a 2271-9-xxxx (22nd series) Super 8. I thought that I read that the 22nd series were grey engines. I thought that I read it on Packardinfo, but I can't find it. When I look at the www.packardclub.org it shows:
Year: Engine: Color:
1900 - 1914 All Engines Black
1915 - 1939 Twelves Green [Note: 1]
1918 - 1947 Sixes & Eights Green [Note: 1]
1948 - 1954 All Engines Gray [Note: 2] except 1954 359 CID which were Bronze.

I know that I've seen way too many 48's & 49's with green engines for the above to be true. So which color should my 22nd super 8 be???

I apologize if this has been covered in another topic.

Thanks!
