Re: 1950 2300 series 2-tone paint scheme

Yes Maumee Maize is the "yellow" color on my 1950 Packard Touring Sedan. I checked it against a Dupont paint chart I recently purchased.
The car would really look good in Packard Blue with the original Maumee Maize top for coolness in the San Diego summer. It is too bad the factory probably never offered that combination, but I may go that way anyhow just to make the car more beautiful than it is. I also want to add a couple of those small yellow fog lamps to the front bumper because they look really nice against a dark blue body color.
I plan to paint the car after I enter it in the National City Auto Heritage Day show, August 2, which features Packard. Any other Packard owners near San Diego should consider joining me because it is a great judged show and entry is FREE for Packards!
Thanks for all the input Packard owners!
Fred

1950 2300 series 2-tone paint scheme
Home away from home

I want to paint my 1950 Packard Deluxe Touring Sedan in a factory correct optional 2-tone paint scheme I need 2 bits of information.
1. Was the optional 2-tone paint available in any combination of factory colors or was it restricted in some way?
2. Where was the break between the top color and the bottom color?

Presently the car is yellow (Packard called it something else)including the firewall. Since I do not wish to paint the firewall now I want to repaint the top the original yellow color. The bottom of the car wants to be Packard Blue, a very dark metallic blue. I have the old paint charts. Right now I am guessing the yellow on top should extend from the firewall all the way back to the rear of the trunk, including all the yellow parts surrounding the windows. There would be almost zero masking required as the paint break is at a chrome strip under the windows. I have looked at factory sales literature and have seen both this color arrangement and also one that breaks at the rain gutter with masking on the sides behind the rear windows. This second paint scheme does not include the trunk lid in the top color. Which paint scheme is correct?
