Painted dash is correct - woodgraining held up very poorly in convertibles.

From what I can see, I don't think that price is too far out of range for a Custom 8 convertible, though it certainly needs some attention. It's one of the rarest of postwar Packards, only about 1218 made and 1 of the most expensive US-made cars offered in 1948 (I believe the other was the Custom 8 LWB limo). Really top-notch Custom 8 convertibles, 22nd and 23rd series can easily flirt with the $100,000 price range.
