Believe all those chrome items were fairly low cost options and if the purchaser had a chrome fetish, most items were also available from dealers after the fact but that indeed is well equipped. I don't remember what it was called but the pressed in pattern upholstery is correct. Some also had a piece or strip of thin chrome type patterned metal also pressed on the fabric.

There is not a 51 on site but here is a 52 fact bookhttps://www.packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/52DataBook.pdf that might be worth downloading. Except for some fairly minor details, the two years are so very close in the comparable models.

There is also a list of 51-52 optionshttps://www.packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/24-25th_Series_Options.pdf
