If you want to go with oem paint scheme, 352 clippers should be turquoise with black valve covers.

320 was red including intake manifolds; Rocker covers black with "Clipper" decal.

Senior cars (all 352s) Ivory including intake manifolds; Rocker covers black with ivory letters.

Why is it orange? Only the painter can explain that....possibly....

The good news is that it may mean the engine was rebuilt at some point.

Are you new to Packards?

As to fluids, my 56 is happy with Shell Rotella 10-40 from Sams Club...

Type three brake fluid is basic unless the system has been upgraded to newer stuff.
