go to all maroon and it's a pretty car (well, a quart of engine enamel wouldn't hurt, either). Any info on the gearshift?

Wow, that's garish to a fault. Is Barnum & Bailey missing one of their circus wagons?

And get rid of that hideous oil filter and buggered oil lines from the cooler - a replacement filter in the correct configuration has been available for a long time.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I always thought pre-war cars had generators, not alternators. Besides the garish paint job, the interior bothers me too. I would think that the interior leather would match the rumble. While the wood graining on the dash looks OK, I would have thought that the tops of the doors would be wood grained as well. And last but not least, can anybody tell me what that red thing is on the steering column? I guess it's an after-market turn signal.

You can make a lot of really neat things from the parts left over after you rebuild your engine ...

The seats are too flat and don't have the "buttons" in it anymore. The rumble seat has no arm rests. The arm rests in the door are wrong.
@bumblebee: yes it should have a generator but this 1 is "upgrade" to an alternator and most likely 12v. Electronic ignition requires 12v.

You're somewhat right, postwar Packards had generators as well. Alternators came along some years after the last Packard.
