1941 Packard Originality Questions

Posted by Steve Henderson On 2018/1/4 12:46:45

I'm looking at a 1941 Packard 160. The car is metallic green in color and is billed as being an older restoration. The interior is beautiful, but the dash is painted two-tone green. While it looks nice, I always thought this dash should be woodgrained. Also, the seat upholstery looks like it may be English broadcloth, but I question the authenticity of the design and maybe of the colors used.

Most of my Packards have been postwar, so I'm no expert. Can any of you prewar guys help me out with this? I'm savvy enough to know the car has less value if it is not authentic.

I'm going to try to attach an interior photo.

Thanks,

Steve in Indiana
