Re: 1950 2300 series 2-tone paint scheme

Yes Maumee Maize is the "yellow" color on my 1950 Packard Touring Sedan. I checked it against a Dupont paint chart I recently purchased.
The car would really look good in Packard Blue with the original Maumee Maize top for coolness in the San Diego summer. It is too bad the factory probably never offered that combination, but I may go that way anyhow just to make the car more beautiful than it is. I also want to add a couple of those small yellow fog lamps to the front bumper because they look really nice against a dark blue body color.
I plan to paint the car after I enter it in the National City Auto Heritage Day show, August 2, which features Packard. Any other Packard owners near San Diego should consider joining me because it is a great judged show and entry is FREE for Packards!
Thanks for all the input Packard owners!
