Did you ever find a correct modern day color match? I am starting a project and have also selected to do my 37 120 sedan in Packard Cream

Newly acquired 1937 Packard
I just purchased this car. It was sitting in a neighbor's garage since at least the 1960's. Last State inspection was in 1947 Numbers found on car are: 322976 V # I096-I606 Build date 11/19/1936 Delivered to Marfred Motor Sales Inc Milebanon, Pa. Number stamped in casting on engine 841258 I am currently deciding whether to restore to original glory or to sell. I'm told this is a model 120 sedan, but do not know if that is accurate. It does not have the spare tire on front fender. I would appreciate any rough estimate on cost to properly restore and value before and after restoration. Condition: The outside is very solid, looks to be complete except for missing trunk hinges (these may be in one of the boxes I also received with unrelated parts ). No side view mirrors??? Some minor rust around trunk lid. I removed plugs and pored oil, installed 6 v battery and it cranks. I did not want to go beyond this until it gets checked out. Inside all gauges are there but do not know if they work. Upholstery - bad shape, mostly torn out but seat frames are there. Chrome- basically good but will need replated. Hub caps mismatched and slightly dented. One side window glass is cracked. If I restore does it detract if the color is changed from original to another color of that model year? Does the interior need to be original type fabric? Where can I get info on interior to aid in restoration? Thanks for your help.
