I am Tring to find the correct color for a 1940 120 steering column. Are they the same as interior colors? It seems most picture I find are brown and not the color of the interior. Thanks

My 1940 110s were all brown, At the time, which was back in the '60s, I found a brown epoxy aerosol that was a perfect match and is still on the car's column today.

Was the interior a different color from the column or was the interior also brown? Thanks

The seats and rear arm rests were a heavy blue wool on one of mine with the rest of the interior being taupe. As far as I know, taupe was the only color available although of the three 110s I owned, the fabric was different even if the color was the same.

I still have the original blue seat skins with PACKARD stamped on the backside as patterns. On all of these I've ever seen except mine, the window moldings and dash were wood grained but on mine, the window frames for the rear compartment were blue and showed no sign of ever having been wood grained underneath. As it wasn't even yet an antique when I bought it, I doubt anyone had modified it.

Thanks So , it looks like Packard panted the steering column brown no matter what the interior color was.
