Re: Engine Paint color for 1948 8

I have seen what I believed were original 288's in both gray and Packard green. I have had good experience with the Hirsch paint.

There are 3 front bumper styles on 22nd series Juniors, as I recall. A "closed mouth" where the middle wider filler piece extends to the center, an "open mouth" where the filler piece is shorter, leaving an opening. The center portion was sometimes painted body color, sometimes chromed.
I'm referring to the horizontal part of the bumper, made up of upper and lower bars sandwhiching the filler pieces. Look at some photos and you can see the differences
