My nice working hypothesis is gone. It's all Mal's fault!

I feared this would apply to a whole range of contemporary vehicles, a 1930s Hudson / Essex Coach for example.

They look pretty good but I can imagine all the time into them to get that look. You have more patience than I ever had.

In between...here are a few pictures showing the application of the individual layers of putty and paint. It becomes clear that these rims, along with the frame, probably spent a long time somewhere in a junkyard or in the forest. Some of the rims have very deep rust holes. And there was putty in uneven layers. And...surprisingly, the original "Vermillion (?) Red" can be seen in the final layer of paint.
By the way, in some cases (such as in this case) I was never really able to understand the colors chosen and the color taste of the designers at this time.

I don’t recognize these from any 1940 or 1941 that I ever owned.

Just a hunch but it looks like the door check strap retainer used for many years.

Hello Team PACKARD,

Can anyone tell me what the picture of the parts on a 1941 PACKARD 120 corresponds to ?

Thanks everyone.
Patrick

Where the fenders bolt to the cowl, they go into caged nuts that are part of a floating panel section that does not penetrate into the kick panel area.
