Guest bkazmer Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I picked up a 1940-41 Packard front heater - usual 2 doors with plastic handles, chrome bar with "Packard" on one door, crest on the other door, "super deluxe" down the center chrome. When I've seen these before, they've been a grayish beige. This one appears to have been black. What do you guys think? I'm going to have to repaint it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I believe it' supposed to be a darkish brown. That's what mine is, and it's original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen_Dyneto Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I've also seen several of these in what appeared to be original condition and they were all crinkle painted in brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bkazmer Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 it is in fact very dark brown on rubbing an intact patch out.But ordinary enamel. Thanks - off to the paint store tomorrow.red center inserts on all three bright pieces, right? Is the crest painted at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
