Executive engine color

literature indicates that the original engine color for the 1956 Executive is green metallic.

My car was a very late production model (5677-1990), and has an engine (No B 7129) that is completely painted in turqouise, including valve covers. There is no embossing in the covers, and if there were stickers, they were gone without a trace.

The engine looks as if it always was with this car.

I wonder if it is a replacement engine (at least 1955s were painted turquoise), or if Packard just ran out of grren engines in the final production time.
