On second thought, I think she said it was because of their reduced unsprung weight, and that they were faster to to change (knock-off).

I once asked Denise McCluggage why most racers drove sports cars with wire wheels vs solid steel wheels. Her answer was just the opposite. She said that the wire wheels were stronger.

It may have come off of a Packard, but it is not a Packard accessory. Much different than the ones Packard offered.

I think the car in the Aldrich shop is serial numbered as a 1956... #1. Can't quite remember. I plan on going over there this week sometime. I'll check. If I can.

The car is in Pat Aldrich's shop, owned by a fellow from Dayton.

Kev I don't spend much time out at the shop anymore, but I plan on going out next week sometime and I could measure Pat's car. I'm not sure of what measurement you're looking for. Can you post a marked-up photo?

Unique, only in where the faceplate trim goes, otherwise they're the same as 1933. That said, it is far more likely to find a set of 1934 covers than 1933.

I would suggest that before you spend a lot of time making a part, check out a few of the suppliers to make sure they haven't already tooled-up and make the part you need. Blevins in Michigan, or Twin Six in Oklahoma.
Twin Six has a website:https://www.packardtwelve.com/shop?category=Appointments Blevins I think is only available in print catalog.
