I can only conclude that whoever added the entry the Paint X-ref that all Packards had green engines is either misinformed or malicious. This is why I think that all user contributed entries should include the User's ID.

The green on 352-cid engines in '56 Clipper and Executive was a much more brilliant (and metallic) shade of green than the traditonal Packard green. The only use I can think of for the silver in '56 would be the valve covers. I'm still waiting to hear if anybody know of a good match for that. Saying it's just "silver" is like saying something is just "gray"; there are many shades.

Never heard of any "break" on Clipper colors - 55 or 56.
