Yes, the later seniors has chrome housings. When did it change, I don't know that we will ever know.

Look at the horn button on #1, and compare it to the CL one. The CL one has a lighter background, silver?, and #1 has a dark background.

I looked at thishttps://www.packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/1955_2_Upholstery.pdf

And it looks bluer than what's in the car, but that could due to the sun. However the seats are white, and the sample has blue leather.https://www.packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/partslist5556/TOC.pdf

The early cars I have seen, the blower behind the grill had a scoop. The later ones did not have it.
