Hey Packardv8, another edit for your above post:
I'm trrying to figure out how much the engine drops over the years and compression of mounts for throttle valve linkage geometry change and... since the cross-shaft for the t/v pivots in the brackets mounted on the back of the heads, condition of the mounts will NEVER affect the geometry! in fact, due to the design of the t/v linkage i can't think of anything short of major collision damage that would! if the cross-shaft mounted on the body, then yes i could see mount issues being a factor.

I checked for these a couple of years ago, and David Moe had them at that time. Don't know if he still does.

Brian,
Most of the images I have are pretty small so that is why I made them all about the size I did. If people could get me hi-res versions of those, then I can redo the guide in a larger size. I did those early year screw-on style caps in profile as they are all different. Some are external thread, some internal thread, and some are different diameters. Plus those look almost exactly the same from the front view. Hope I can get some folks to send over some additional pictures to help improve the guide. I just ask that they be flat/straight-on pictures. Similar how the ones in the Guide are now.

Dave, does it have a kind of "mobile pillar
Gusha, I took it to be a true 2-dr hardtop with essentially the same window arrangement as the convertible, but who knows, there is very little known of this car and I'm not aware of anyone who has any first-hand knowledge of it.

Guscha, thanks for the Jack Vines comment.

Kev, you're off to a great start.
Black background shows of the chrome. Would Packard Blue better? Showing caps in profile is good idea, where possible - might want to expand that to include others like the 46-50. What about trim rings? I'd like to see large images. You might be able to pick up some horizontal space by splitting descripttive text over two lines - that is, years/models on line 1 and style (cap/cover) on line 2. I'd also like to see hub caps in some sort of relative scale (to full wheel covers). Tall orders, I know. Just consider it food for thought - proceed as you see fit.

Dave, does it have a kind of "mobile pillar" like the successor Mercedes Adenauer 300D?
With this back window the conditions of all-round vision are excellent. [picture source: http://www.hatzigmoser.at/oldtimer/adenauer.html]

Any thoughts on why the supercharger was removed for drivability reasons -- other than "it's broken."? Don, I found this statement of Jack Vines in another thread: "...

Only 1951 Patrician had the cloisonne emblems, and then only for a few months of the model year run.
PS - and they were on full wheel covers, not hub caps.

The ceramic is an insulator, so it helps to keep items near the exhaust pipe cooler. But i would imagine that the inside of pipe would then be hotter as the heat is not being radiated out.

Don't quite understand the concern with heat, these cars generally run very cool - mine almost never goes over the thermostat setting of 160 regardless of circumstance. And I don't know that a ceramic coating would enhance heat transfer, it might actually inhibit it.
