My personal favorite is Packard Blue. Deep dark blue with a touch of metallic. Packard Maroon is also very dressy. Both of these colors are somewhat formal, which I think is in keeping with the sedan body style. I don't think Packard offered the Chinese Red in 37, but it was available in 38 and is a really bright color.http://www.ebay.com/itm/1937-1938-PACKARD-115C-SIX-SUPER-EIGHT-V-12-37-38-PAINT-CHIPS-SHERWIN-WILLIAMS-/271338371247?pt=Motors_Manuals_Literature&hash=item3f2d06f8af&vxp=mtr

The Ivory is also a striking color for the shorter 110 sedan. What I remember is that most of the 110's tended to be black, so almost any other color would be striking. I'd suggest that you get one of the color chip brochures on Ebay, and then scan it so we would have a 37 version!
