Re: I need correct engine paint colors for 1955 clipper custom

Correct engine color for 1955 352 engine in a Packard is Ivory. You can get this in a special hi-temp engine enamel from any of the many national Packard vendors. Try Bill Hirsch, Kanter Bros, Max Merritt.

Assuming 1955 is the same as 1956 and if not I'm sure someone else will come along and advise, cowl and inner fenders etc. are body color or if 2-tone, lower body color. Underhood is a semi-gloss black with some overspray around the edges.

Lot's of paint, upholstery, accessory and similar information already available here for downloading. Click on Packard Articles are browse around and I'm sure you'll find most of your answers.
