Read that the 1953 Packard Coupe Conv has 180 HP
And the 1954 has a 212 HP

What was going on there?

For the Bellevue color, says following, is the complete mix to make color n,kn(L)
246-57746

246-0097 White
246-064 Ferrite Yellow
246-0785-H Blue-Toned Green
246-025 Black

I take it this is formula for Bellevue ?

I thought the Galahad Green would two tone better if required

Galahad Green

260-57374-H. 1522-H

246-0484. Brown
246-0785-H. Blue-Toned Green
202-081 Metailic Hare ( Cixirse )
246-025 Black

Is there anyone with these formulas?



Are the above the Formula as in codes?


When you mention Home Office, do you mean Paint Sprayer in England will need to contact the American Home Office for Formula? Is there not a paint specialist in America that could forward me the formula to mix these these colors correctly?

Is there a picture of the Galahad Green

Yes Bellevue Green seems very close, and so pleased its a 54 Packard Color. Just be great to get a two tone pre cut kit, then all my wife has to do is sew them. sewing and making custumes is her job. You can buy Vinyl paint, but what about leather. Heres the color chart.

did have this color spray, a bit doubtful though?

Says Classic Coat Aerosols

CLASSIC COAT uses advanced technology to provide superior adhesion and flexibility when changing or restoring the color of most leather and vinyl. CLASSIC COAT is a fade resistant coating that won't chip or peel and is available in many of today's popular OEM colors.

So is the Galahad green the darker green?

A Big Christmas Thankyou Rusty. Great Website. Lots of books too you can buy.
On my picture, is the buttons correct on front seat? Can't remember seeing them before on pictures for 54 ?

You can buy already cut pieces of leather for your car, just need to find people who have them?

And what I desire is this, but in a more lighter mint green color. : What my best option?

NOTES:

2. BODY MODELS 2259, 2279 AND 2359 HAVE BEDFORD CORD CLOTH INSERTS IN CUSHIONS IN ALL SET NUMBERS.
3. BODY MODELS 2293 AND 2393 HAVE WOVEN PLASTIC CLOTH INSERTS IN CUSHIONS.
4. MODEL 2677 TRIMMED IN SET 95,96; MODEL 2679 TRIMMED IN SET 96,97; ARE AFFECTED BY A CHANGE MADE IN THE GRAIN OF BOTH THE GENUINE AND IMITATION LEATHER. HAIR CELL GRAIN LEATHER WAS USED ON FIRST PRODUCTION CARS, THIS GRAIN WAS DISCONTINUED, AND WOLF GRAIN LEATHER WAS USED ON LATER CARS. HAIR CELL GRAIN IS A FINE TEXTURED GRAIN RESEMBLING A PEBBLED SURFACE. WOLF GRAIN IS A COARSER GRAIN, CHARACTERIZED BY MANY FINE LINES FORMING AN IRREGULAR PATTERN.

So sounds like the only option is buy leather in beige and leather in light green, cut the old leather off seat, make the new covers from pattern of cut off pieces. That's where my wife is very useful being a pro dress maker. Only other thing that crossed my mind, was if a leather restorer could paint a different color onto the current leather color? My thoughts are prob impossible and no easy way for this. If you see my sanding thread, Sanding car ready for paint, there are pics of color I'm trying to achieve. At the moment the leather color is red and black.
Happy Christmas to all.

May get a better idea of color in these seat pictures, and by the way, can you get kits to match these seats? The body color will be a much lighter color, as shown, it looks like a mint green, but would sure like to know correct color? thats the body color, not the seat color.
