1942 Packard questions

Surfing the internet discovered photos on Flickr of a 1942 civilian Packard ambulance that apparently was at a car show in California in 2012.  The photo album is here:

Specifically, these two photos might be of interest:

Woodgrain also depends on the model. The car in Superior's post above looks to be based on a 120, and the woodgrain appears to be original. A Senior 1942 Packard normally had chrome around the windshield, and also chrome on the upper portion of the steering column. However, the color of the steering column looks to be correct, and would follow all the way to the steering box.

Intake manifold color?  Steering column  color where visible inside car?  What woodgrain pattern on dash?  Restoring the apparently only surviving 1942 Packard Civil Defense ambulance, obviously in rough condition. Thanks folks!

When I did the 1941 Packard 110 Military car - it had a woodgrained dash and I believe a brown steering column (perhaps a light pearl finish or fine metallic).
