Sorry folks, I made a mistake above. Yes the gray color started with 1948, though there are some unquestionably original 1948 cars with green engines, though they are all (to my knowledge)Custom 8s with 356 engines. And Packard couldn't have been using green on the 356 into 1951 because the 356 engine was discontinued with the 23rd series except for the marine engine series, in which it was painted gray.
