Standard equipment on your Packard was a plain unadorned radiator cap generally known as the bail or bale cap and I believe this is what you want. You'll find it pictured in the showroom catalogs among other places. If I can quickly find an image I'll attach it.

This is the standard cap that was on all
37s and probably '35-36 as delivered. The pelican and Goddess of Speed were optional. This cap is original to our 1500 RHD. (The ORIGINAL cracked paint is a whole other story!)

Mine that was on my 37 was quite a bit different than Mr. Supina's. Mine is a 120 so that will probably be the reason. I used some paint on mine to cover the worst of the pitting as my trim colour is red.

thanks for this enlightenment. Is the metal on these caps Mazak (now called Zamak or Zamac) or other zinc alloy or is it plain steel?

I have only heard it called pot metal or white metal, but is an amalgam that includes zinc I believe.
