I also did a mass search and replace on the database to update any other stored links from http to https. This should fix any issues with fussy browsers reporting insecure page resources.

Fixed issue when using the search and clicking on a link in the Service Index results: either the link won't open, or it reports that the file could not be downloaded securely. The search code was trying to serve the PDF files with an http address instead of https, which is a cross-security violation. The code has been fixed, and this should no longer be an issue.

The pics make it appear it went in hood first. I know at least on both my cars, the parking brake is far more effective when pointed down a hill, vs up a hill.

I can back up both my cars under power with the parking brake on, but I can't get either to move forward under power with it on. While the '54 isn't prone to rolling because of the Ultramatic parking pawl, I ensure the '37 has both the brake on and is in gear when parked.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that. Hopefully, insurance will make it all right.

Indeed, drain all the engine fluids ASAP and replace them. Pull the seats and carpets out and get some fans, and whatnot going to start drying everything out.

At least that is a freshwater lake/reservoir.

I was able to see the photos. It happened in Canyon Lake, CA, in Riverside County.

That was not too far away from where I used to live in Calif. I believe something similar happened a few years ago at the Amelia Island show with another Packard.

Just to close the circle on this for future reference, here is what the Metro '37 120 running board covers look like. A separate piece also goes at the rear up against the fender (not pictured). These still have the white mold release on them, but note the hollow reliefs on the underside in the second picture. This important feature is what is missing from the Steele ones.

I have a set of new Metro 37 120 running board mats sitting here, so I can send you pics if you want to see what they look like.

They also make 115-C ones as well. I have those ordered, but they are backordered until July. Once I get those, then I'll sell the 120 ones off. But keeping ahold of these as a backup in the event they can't deliver the 115-C ones. Generally folks had to cut the down the 120 ones to fit the 115 boards.

They show available on Amazon:
