Re: 22nd/23rd Series Engine Color Survey

I handled a 19000 mile 48 Cu8 with chrome headlight bezels and, I believe, a green engine originally.

My favorite place to look is the generator bracket.

Grey was a color Packard was using during the early brass era (single cylinder) and it was lighter than the marine stuff. Supposedly they used it on the Model 30, but I have never seen a picture indicating that. I have found traces of grey on 22-23 series motors that was very light grey. I added that in case anyone doesn't like the grey color because it is not "traditional".
