Since I did want to steal the '26 for sale thread I figure I start a new thread about exterior colors in general.

It was pointed out in the thread about an exact car for sale on ebay that looked like a circus wagon. I did not catch the ebay number so I can't make judgment on what the car looks like. Guess what I am getting to is what colors have all seen that was not the norm for Packard?

This '25 Touring is on eBay now.
This is what I call a 'Circus Wagon'.
Is this the one you are talking about?
I don't see how anyone could 'Mess Up' a great car, like that. Unless it was for a Prop in some kind of Strange Fantasy Movie.

Here's the 1925 Packard 6 that was being discussed.... B

Speedster.. great minds run in pairs... haha....B

Here's a 1931-32 901 that was 'restored' by a severely misguided hand...B

Is this one of these pick out what's wrong in this picture?

Since my hard drive crashed I can't find a better picture of this car but you can see what some of the color from the engine shoot I took.

It may be Easier to try to pick out 'What is Correct', in the pictures. Since there are so many that are Not.

I want to know who the red-head is, reflected in the headlight? She looks interesting from that angle.

I wish you guys would Learn how to Reduce your File Sizes! I gonna ware out my trackball scrolling back and forth. LOL

If I were a customer and wanted to buy a new Packard and brought in my own can of paint didn't Packard paint the car with that Color for you?

I am not after what is right or wrong I wanted to see what other paint schemes people have painted their beloved Packards.

I agree with you Rick it is hard to scroll back and forth to see the pictures so I reduced the one I posted.

Okay we've shown some Extremes. How many hundreds of pictures do you want posted?
Just Kiddin',
Should I post some of my favorites, or would you like me to see if I have some pics or 'Your' favorites? If so, give me a clue?

But, Now I can't see the red-head! LOL

Your favorites would be great or off the wall colors

Wish I had a better shot of the lime green one. My friends 1970 Challenger TA is painted that color.

That redhead was my wife no just kiddin not sure who she was.

I scaned thru my pics of '31s and my favorite colors are this one: (it needs a cover over the trunk to match top, tho)

I like that one different then the normal Reds, Maroons etc..Like tbirds a color you don't see.

Yes, there are at least 4 shades of tan there. The wheels are a darker Taupe color, the body is two shades of tan and then the top a lighter tan. Really a good combination.
Probably couldn't get that many colors with your hardtop coupe, but maybe Close.

Here's a 1934 Phaeton that was on sale on ebay recently. The listing is here. Note that the seller says, "Although painted in period restoration colors of the 70's, . . . This would make an EASY restoration to another color if you choose."

And he probably Paid an Outragious Price for that '70s Paint-job too.

Rick,
Actually it needs to have that silly-looking trunk removed altogether!!!

Yes, that would be the Easyest and Best Solution, since it has an external trunk already, it really doesn't need that one also and it would take up a Lot less space in the garage.

Ok, Tom, Here's a 1932 901 that is almost totally correct. He even found a set of 1932 paint chips and had the colors copied. There is only one thing that should be changed. Anyone know what it is? I'll give the answer in a day or so if no one gets it,, which I'm sure some of you eagle eyed Packaholics will spot easily... B

Incorrect running boards?

Oh also copper fuel lines

What struck me was the terrible shape of the engine compartment and the right hand door as a very visible gap. yes a repaint will cost you 15-20K, but this car to me would need a lot more than that.

The light-Blue color of Wheels doesn't look correct to me ???
