Well today is a nice 60 degree day with plenty of sunshine. I'm going out to explore my '51 Packard this afternoon.
I wonder how depressed I'll be time I come back in this evening....

On mine it is like a heavy cardboard.

Steele Rubber does have a number of different shaped rubber excursions, some listed as used for quarter windows. Have to remove one of these and see what it actual shape is out of the door.

Sounds like it is well optioned. Mine just has the dog dish hub caps with trim rings.
John

Hmmm, not convinced you should by it then?? Something like that doesn't come along very often. And who knows you can always take it back down to the auction and sell it for more again.

One option I left out, it does have fender skirts too.
Okay rear quarter windows in rear doors. Got a chance today to pull the car cover up and check out the passenger side rear door. The glass is surrounded by a piece of rubber with a channel in it for the glass to fit into.
So this kind of leaves this in limbo, for I've not seen a rubber gasket shown for these. 2 options available,
retrofit with regular wing windows that do open and the gaskets are available for. Or make a Packup out of it....

John

Did you need to replace the rubber around them David?

Checking the owner's register, I see at least 8 other people that own 2492 series Packard cars.

That is what mine is Howard, a 2492 4 dr sedan. It would be the cheapest of the 1951 200 4 dr sedans. Though it does have a radio (push button) outside mirror, heater/defroster, Ultramatic and back lights and turn signals.
I hope to get a better look at it maybe Tuesday this next week. Right now it is under a car cover with a couple inches of snow on it. Suppose to start warming up Monday.

Hi Troy,

That illustration is a regular wing window that opens. Mine are fixed, and don't open.
