Mike,

I tend to side with O-D while not wishing to offend any of the Bi-colour owners out there this model looks best as a solid colour vehicle. It was marketed as the car for the average guy, the person who did not have the money for all the extras, but did want to show everyone on the block that he had a bit more money than they maybe thought he had.

It's a Packard, that says enough to turn heads, painting it like a circus wagon will turn heads, but IMO understated beauty is likely what you are looking for.

I'm, biased (see my avatar), but I would suggest Packard Maroon or Indian Maroon, both are such rich colours and will stand out from the many black and dark blue cars of all makes at any cruise night or show.
