Thanks for the education on vacuum plating Packards1, the process certainly turned out a classy Packard "shield". The trunk emblem on my car has been replaced with a reproduction and it looks good but only time will tell how it holds up. The grill emblem is original like the posted photo however it's black in color and matches the emblems that are mounted in the body side mouldings. The colors appear to be fine however exposure has taken its toll on the plastic and caused cracks which distort the appearance...I think plastics were in their infancy in those days so 60 years isn't too shabby...
