Mmmm... ivory. When I was a teenager in the sixties, my dad bought a new Mercedes 250S, and it had an ivory steering wheel. Subsequently, when I was in art school in the early seventies, I owned several Mercedes with ivory wheels. I've been fond of them since then, but they weren't translucent. The Packard wheel must be something.

I'll bet I can duplicate that translucent ivory Packard wheel. Base coat ivory with a tri-coat clear pearl over it is what I can imagine without seeing one in person.
