As for the "glow in the dark" dash, IIRC, they used Radium.
I was not aware that Packard did the purple glow in the dark dash at all. I had a 51 Studebaker starlight coupe that had the radium instruments. I really liked that look. If Packard did that in 1950 why did they not carry it on to the 51 and later cars? That would have gone a long way in making the instruments readable at night.
