Believe the 52 engine color should be gray. There are numerous threads on the subject but here is onehttps://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=75960#forumpost75960 You can get it at most of the vendors, Kanterhttp://www.kanter.com/packard/ , Bill Hirschhttp://www.hirschauto.com/ , others. I believe there is an aftermarket tractor color someone has also mentioned as close.

Need to know more about the other item and your car. Standard brake cars, I believe you might be talking about the headlight dimmer switch as that is the only item with something that would have a plunger I can think of over in that area next to frame rail. It would be mounted to the angled area of floor near the kickpanel and visible from underneath. Powerbrake car, the brake switch is at the end of the booster setup and steering column is above it--nothing else close with a plunger. If neither sounds like what you mean, a picture would be helpful.
