Beautiful Packard Hawk, just my opinion but, since correct fitting Clear Parking/Turn Indicator Lenses ARE available, I would ditch the Amber probably not well fitting Lenses.
If you happen to like Amber Turn Signal LIGHTS as I do, just use Amber Bulbs, as Amber Parking Lights did not happen until 1963, they just look out of place on a '58.StudeRich

I would also like to know what that color is. I am considering a similar color for my 53 hardtop. Although, I wonder if it would look as good without as many shiny bits to set it off.

I don't know what the number is that you site. If the "56" should be 58, it would be a 1958 Packard Hawk near the end of the line for them.Gary L.

Yes you are wright, i am looking for the originals, but is almost imposible pieces to find them.... also the headlight trim are not original, thats are easier to find...
Originally posted by studegary View PostIt looks to me like the exterior armrests have been replaced with chrome trim. This goes along with other custom touches such as removal of the name from the hood and different headlight rims.
