Hi

You're absolutely right JW, the chrome-plated radiator shell and splash panels are way too much chrome. It might be a bit more palatable if the splash panels were painted body color.

Any after the '32-'33 models look gauche with chrome-plated radiator shell and splash panels, smack of the newly-rich, look-at-me-I-got-bucks crowd. Having a Senior Packard was more than enough to let the public know the owner was well-healed. But, EGB was in business to sell motorcars, even to those with questionable taste.
