Packard Forum Index » Pre-War (1899-1942)

According to the parts book body 1499 is a 120 convertible coupe. The parts books lists both painted and grained dashboards for this model.

According to the 110/120 brochure the cars with all leather had grained dashboards, but cars with cloth and leather had a painted dash. It's right there in the picture.

This combo goes back to 1938. However I have seen bone stock originals with all leather and a painted dashboard. Anything is possible with Packards. Heck Turnquist had a convertible sedan with V-12 trimmings, yet when you opened the hood there was an eight cylinder motor.

However, that fact that the interior is rotten is another issue separate from the paint color.
