Packard Forum Index » V-8 (1955-56)

Member Ross provided the whys and wherefores for this aspect of the factory process for painting fenders (and other loose parts) for the V8 models, some time ago, in this post.

Thanks for digging that post out BH. I spent half the morning reading it thus far. Wonderful information therein.

well that means my paint on my fender is original and speaks for what Ross was saying.

Glad you found the link helpful.

The bit about 'black enamel' had stuck in my mind, so I entered that plus 'fender' as keywords in my site search.

I'm glad that post was still there, as a couple of weeks ago, I was looking for a few specific posts by Ross on Ultramatic issues, but they appear to have completely disappeared.

Thanks BH for locating Ross's earlier post. That makes everything black and white, or should I say, black enamel and main body color.
