I have a rear defroster for my 54. I haven't installed it, but it a formed piece of tar paper like housing that has an electric coil and a fan motor. So when you give it power the fan turns on and the coil heats up. Like a hair dryer on low speed. The housing mounts under the package tray, and the is a metal grille mounts on top. I'll see if I can find a picture.

FOR SALE: Give Packard Accessories Sign

This is a reproduction of a sign that was used in Packard Dealerships during the Christmas season. The original was printed on thin paper and was probably taped to a window or something similar and came as part of the Christmas advertising decor that was available to dealers.

Since this was originally paper, and probably only provided for a single season, very few originals have survived.

This has been digitally recreated and professional reprinted on diecut 24pt card stock to make it more durable than original.

The sign measures approximately 24" wide by 9-1/2" tall.

I'm selling these to PackardInfo.com members for $25 plus $10 shipping to the lower 48 states.

Anyone interested can pay via the Pay Pal donation button here on the website, but please send me your mailing address as that doesn't come over when making a Pay Pal donation.

Thanks!

Checked for slop where there are joints in any of the linkages. It is common for the holes to get wallowed out and then need bushes installed. Also, any tubes that move up and down the column may need to be removed, cleaned, and lubed.

Check with Joel Ray at Patrician Industries. He has had new/rebuilt water pumps and may also have the retainers.

I wonder if the issue I am seeing with the door windows being too close to the swing-up b-pillars has to do with the front window glass channel I used. Perhaps it is too thick and/or not fully seated in the metal channel. What size or part number did anyone else use for this?

I believe the part I used was Restoration Specialties Y526, which is 5/8 wide by 9/16 tall, flexible, and rubber-covered. Perhaps if I used a rigid channel type, it would sit down lower in the channel. Or maybe the size I was using was just wrong to start with.

I believe I used the #6 x 3/4 oval slotted. But if the holes in the door have been stripped out, then you may need the #8 with the #6 head.

I can check to see how many cup washers I still have left. How many do you need?

The grille shell is worth twice as much as the car!

I just checked, I don't have any more gas pedals left in the horde of Steele Rubber I had.

Trying to figure out why the spacing between the roll up door windows and the convertible top swing up b-pillars is so tight. Tight to the point that stainless channel for the weather strip that mounts to pillar can't install without making contact with the window frame. There is no additional adjustment in the top mechanism. It's as far back as it can go.

I think it has to do with the position of the door window glass and possible the door window was either cut too large, of the setting tape they used is too thick. To confirm that I need the following measurements:

The space at top front of the glass, between the stainless edges.

And at the back bottom corner the gap between the stainless edge and the inside edge of the door window slot.

This will confirm if the door glass is sitting too far rearward and causing the issue I am seeing. Both these measurements are with the door window top dead even with the top of the vent window.

Thanks!
