Awww, wow!!! Thanks, Owen. I'm in love! What a gorgeous Caribbean and it looks like it wouldn't take much to bring it back to readiness. Got my Westley's Bleche-White ready for those tires and I can almost feel my buffer revving to polish. Wow again.

AND I love the hint of the Patrician to the right... and (if I'm not mistaken) that looks like a red Italian-built Cadillac Allante to the left. I still have my black Stage II Allante in mint condition. Would I love to have my 1956 Patrician with factory air back again!

Thanks much for sharing.

I took some pics of the original box and the items supplied - note the separate brackets for Clippers (on the right) and Packards (on the left). I will try to get to Staples to copy the instruction sheets today. Apologize for the original label not showing well - it is faded a good deal.
It reads:
OKLAHOMA PACKARD CO.
901 N. BROADWAY
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK

I PURCHASED THIS ON EBAY MANY YEARS AGO. Just Lucky.

If you click on the picture you can see an enlargement of each one.

Here are two pics of a rear antenna on my Patrician. Hope this helps to illustrate what was said.

Here is the factory install instruction sheet Randy was kind enough to provide.

For reference, some inside trunk photos showing the senior (non Clipper) lower stabilizing bracket, the serrated tooth upper bracket providing the solid ground to sheetmetal connection and the single antenna lead connection on the right side antenna.

Thank you Howard! I knew between you and Dave it would get done. I appreciate it very much.
