Is there a source to tell me what is painted what color or finish in the engine compartment? I've pulled the '41 120 engine for rebuild, now I feel compelled to make all colors "correct" on everything I have pulled or can see. (Of course I have some Packard green.)
Advice and guidance appreciated.
Mine a 42 limo 180, Packard green, black trim on starter, air cleaner, oil filter, voltage regulator, generator , radiator
Transmission green, overdrive speed governor is black, the OD solenoid is cadmium/silver
I hope this helps

42 Packard seven passenger sedan parts only, maybe an airport limo
42 Packard formal, a basket case, restorable and complete.
40 Packard 160 -127 inch, , some surface little rust restorable
Wanted on rear deck Air Conditioner Vent to complete the 42 limo.
Wanted one factory Air Conditioners
Want 6 or 8 door Airport limo any year, any make pre WWII.
It would be a lot easier if you ask for correct colors for specific parts. There are some nice factory assembly line photos and detail shots over at PackardInfo.com.

I don't think that the 120 transmission was painted.

Really? If that's true, I didn't know that.

West, I retract that statement. I forgot that my 120 1942 had a 1946 engine, so who knows where the transmission came from.
