There is no mystery to the amber courtesy lamp lenses. I had some samples made in the injection die before we made the one run of courtesy light lenses. I still have a pair put away. I took a pair of these lenses to a national Packard convention years ago and put them into the proper Packard envelopes to see peoples reactions. All kinds of theories were put forth. I had to burst everyones bubble when I told them that I had them manufactured. I got a great smile on my face when the experts were crestfallen by being taken in so easily. The gold side trim was indeed made by Packard for a show car and I have had many pieces of it over 30 years. Fred Kanter has some of it as he bought it from me over the years.
