There is a 40 Salesman's Fact and Data Book and an Owners Manual you can download from the literature archive that might answer some of your questions.

I cannot speak for 40s but in other years Packard sometimes made chrome pieces available as a paid option on lower end models and were part of a regular trim upgrade package on more upscale models. Convertibles might have had them as standard because they were often a differentiating feature on upper end models or in a convertibles case, maybe more weather resistant than painted or woodgrained moldings..https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/1940_DataBook.pdfhttps://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/1940_110_120_OwnersManual.pdf
