Is there a location which shows the correct engine and accessory colors for the 56 GH Packard engine? I have looked at a BUNCH of pictures, and they all show "Artistic License" in the color combinations. And did the valve covers come from the Factory chromed? Also, how were the inner fenders and firewall colored?...

POR15 has the correct engine color it is called Ford red, you will also need the silver high heat base coat a pint each will do the job. Chrome valve covers were available but not a chrome fan shroud, also the 56GH fan shroud is unique to that car and is painted in a semi gloss blackIt is an addiction!

When chrome rocker arm covers were ordered for the '56 Golden Hawk 'after the fact' from Studebaker (SASCO), 'PACKARD' script ones were usually supplied.
Original or not, you just can't beat the look of chromed 'PACKARD' script rocker arm covers on those engines!!
