HH56 is right. But the problem with the images in the literature for 1956 Packard is that the images showing the engine were printed in the wrong hue. They MAKE the engine look gold when it was actually a rich shade of coppery bronze.
Several sources have tried to make a gold paint that is dead wrong, but people continue to use this color on 1956 engines. May have tried to restore 1956 engines in this color. Saw one just last week.
Bill Hirsch used to have the right color shade and paint that worked well on the engine.
Oil filler tube on two of my cars was engine color with black cap.
