Looks like 1950's-60's Earl Scheib blue.

Yes, or I will wait for a repaint. Don't like the blue on this one at all.

Looks a lot like the blue they used on the Packard Station Sedan.

But then the Packard is metallic....

I'm with you...
...wonderful looking model but that blue is lukewarm - at least for me. A darker shade of anything would be a can't-miss. That being said, I'm still gonna buy one 🙂

The Packard is metallic. I wonder if the Chrysler is?

I assume any color called a Poly is a metallic, thus answering the question did metallic colors exist as early as 1941.

Metallic silver was a popular color in toy cars by the mid-1930's. (pic)

And a recent Brooklin model correctly, I believe, uses metallic silver from the same decade.
