As I learned after joining this site, the chrome surround portion of my grill is that of a later model year as is evident by the 3 holes to mount the Packard emblem (pic included).

Since then I have been looking for the emblem but have yet to find one with mounting pins - they all look like emblem in the attached picture.

Did these emblems have mounting pins on them or have I been looking at the wrong emblems?

@Brian and @Howard thanks a lot I really appreciate your help!

While searching for parts I actually am in need of, I came across something I couldn't let pass me by - I believe (and hope) this really is a 1951 OEM visor with all the hardware / I understand these are not often found for sale

Don I'm wondering if simply adding s runtz would work

I'm humbled to have provided the inspiration! I had never seen paint brought back to life like that and I simply wanted to share with others the possibilities in hope that my work would renew another Packard owners drive and hope to do similar

Your 56 looks great! I wish mine started off anywhere close to the condition yours did as the ceiling of what is achievable for mine without a repaint (which I prefer not to do) much lower.

Keep up the good work and if you have any questions on detailing feel free to message me!

a can of Danube blue lacquer!

EUREKA, thanks Gents!

Bummer about the clocks, looks like I have some runtz are in my future!
