Packard Forum Index » V-8 (1955-56)

I was sent this pic of a 55 Patrician engine and told them it wasn't the correct color. I said it should be Ivory, right? It's the same engine with the casting date 4 18 56 in my other pic.

The 55 Patrician motor should be Ivory (off-white), though perhaps someone repainted it. Positive identification is from either the motor number up front by the oil filler tube or the Utica plant engine # at the lower right rear just below the cylinder head. An April 1956 casting date would indicate a 1956 engine, not a 1955.
