Here's a first...a blue Packard engine! Saw this 32 Packard on Ebay that supposely was restored 5 years ago. Whoever did it, though stock, paid no attention to details as it has a blue engine with a red distributor and a dash void of any woodgraining.

I'm betting it was done for a limo service, without any desire to be stock. Thus the inappropriate color choice as well.

I never even got close to looking at the upholstery. The restorer must had extra blue paint left. But then to paint the distributor red. Must had wanted it to look like an MSD distributor smile
