Success! Thanks to your pictures, I was able to take off that bezel easily.
After taking out the existing bulb, cleaning the contacts and replacing the lens assembly, the dome light worked like a charm, bathing the passengers in a pale, flattering light through the milk glass lens. Thank you all very much.
All problems should be that easily solvable.
On to the next!

Bob, those two tidbit pictures are very useful.
Thank you for taking the time to set them up.
I will check on the light housing this weekend and let you know. Book eagerly awaited!

G'Day, Looked at registry and it is totally accurate.
The later post can be deleted.
Wondering why picture in registry overview is so "pixillated" or broken up when the original in the submission is so much clearer?
Avatar for another time.
Thanks for all your help.

G'Day!
I seem to have successfully duplicated my Packard with an awful (pixillated) photo. And the first listing I posted, some time ago had only a factory stock photo.
I'd like to delete the new listing, and change the old picture. But am clueless as to how to proceed.
Parenthetically, I have been unable to add an avatar picture to my Account Profile because the format says that all the ones I attempt are too big.
Any help would be appreciated, and thank you for all you do.

Looking forward to the book.
Long gestation periods insure outstanding results!
No relation to the Chevy dealer, although I had seen his dealer emblems on and off for years, and playing the clarinet, was tempted to purchase a car just for the emblem!
Somehow that never happened, but it stuck in my mind.
There was another dealership called "Whiteman" (Paul) whose emblem tempted me the same way. All before children.

Dear Supinas,
That's very useful. Would love pix when you can.
Also wondered what happened to your possible book on the
1937 Seniors.
Keep cool and safe,
Thanks

Long Time Reader, First Time Poster. With the wealth of knowledge and experience here, no doubt someone has had this problem before. I'd like to check the dome light bulb and fixture to make sure that they are functional and getting current. But I am having trouble removing the bezel to gain access. I have tried to unscrew it manually, but after about a 1/2 turn it will not budge and does not seem to be coming away from the base. A very wise mechanic once said to me,"Well, you've got to know what you can get away with!"
And I don't. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
