The downdraft tube on my 50,000-mile original '40 is black.

Interesting information on the color of filler tubes from the manufacturer being black. That might be why some have found black paint on the front engine motor-mount cradle. I think we have determined that the cradle should be engine color, but they may have come black from the mfc.

By the way, the AACA forum is also very highly monitored to keep it civil, and we host many, many, many different brands and also have a Packard forum. You might want to give it a try as well. (http://forums.aaca.org/).
