It's awful close, but I think I'm gonna keep looking for the original Packard part. Thank's for posting the picture.

Does anyone know if this is compatable with the gas door guard on a 48 Custom?

Okay, thanks for that. Since my original post I've had a chance to get under the car and do some work with plenty of light. My engine block was definately red. I know I read about replacement engines being red someplace, but I didn't bookmark it so I'll keep looking. I'll post what ever I find for everyone.

Hey, I've been meaning to get back to you about this and finally remembered. I'm curious how you arrived at the information you described about the red engines. I believe you're right, but I'd like to read up on it if I can. Thanks, Dave

Primer. I never even thought about it being primer. I’ll look a little closer next time I’m underneath with some brighter lights. But that makes sense.

Hi Owen,
I know I'm replying to an old thread, but I'm hoping you're still checking your messages. You seem to know what youre talking about so I've got a question. I have a 1949 2252-9 Custom Touring Sedan. It was build in 1948 but sold in 49. It has a 356 engine. While I was undernath working on the engine I notice that the engine block was red. I always thought packard engines were green or gray, but I double checked and it was clearly red. While researching this I found something from packard that said replacement engines that were installed by the dealers were painted red. But I lost the link to the document and have never found anything that mentions red engine color again. Have you heard of this? Do you know of any historians that I maight be able to confirm with? If it is true, and as I clean up the engine compartment, I might repaint mine the red color just to be true to its history. What do you think?

I've heard that too about aluminum wiring. I think it's just going to be a better idea to pay the extra and get the proper pure copper.

Thank Don. That's really what I was thinking. It's my inclination to go back as close to original as possible.

Looking to do some rewiring on my 49 Custom. I see when I'm shopping for wire online a lot of wire I'm finding is copper clad aluminum. It's much cheaper than the pure copper. Is there a reason why I shouldnt use the copper clad aluminum?
I"m a wiring novice.
