ALso, what exact model is it and is the interior correct? I've never seen those stripes like that.

Also, the color doesn't quite seem right to me but someone else can chime in on that. What about the orange wheels?

I'd say the paint scheme is nonauthentic, no red or orange in 1933 standard colors though orange might have been used as a pinstripe color. The first attachment shows 1933 colors, and the 2nd shows how the colors were applied for 1934 and I'm assuming 1933 was the same or similar.

Owen is correct, it is a 1933. The model is a Standard 8 as opposed to a Super 8 - you can tell by the headlamps and fender lamps.
Twelves had a VEE shaped glass in both the head and fender lamps. And the headlamp buckets and fender lamp buckets were somewhat longer had a fin on the top and bottom. Super 8s had the same VEE shaped glass as the Twelves, but less depth to the buckets and NO fin. Standard 8s did not get the VEEd glass and both the headlamp and fender lamps were a slight dome shape as we see your photo. The steering wheel should not be light gray and don't get me going about the red carpeting. Packards were supposed to be "refined" - the color selection for this car is too strong for my taste. And yes, it is true and someone is bound to chime, that Packard would build anything the customer wanted but the only thing this is missing are spotlights.

However for $100 a Packard owner could have the car painted any color. So if that color was available in 1933, although not stock, it is correct, isn't it.
