Hello Tim
I'm not surprised. You obviously know more about this than I do.
I think the painted radiator shell actually looks better and have seen quite a few others like this. Was wondering if it was a factory option?
Yes, the wheels do look out of place and I guess this car is too early for chrome wires even as an option. I have chrome wires on my 1956 Clipper, which it never came with. But they suit the car and I like the way it looks with them. Bit of bling!
This car obviously passed muster at Pebble Beach some time ago. Maybe the judges were not up on these things? We Australians would describe many of the cars which appear there as over restored. Some Australian-restored cars have been successful there too, but they were highly authentic. No Packards to my knowledge.
Cheers
Brian
