Question regarding side-mount equipped Packards

Posted by packardsix1939 On 2022/7/18 11:58:16
I'm looking three Ninth and Tenth series Packards with an intent to purchase. One is a 902 coupe roadster; another is a 902 Phaeton and the third is a 1001 coupe roadster. All three have dual side-mounts, but none of them have the metal tire covers. But I see other examples of these models that do have the metal tire covers, including some pictured in the Beverly Rae Kimes book. One picture of a 1001 Sedan taken on the day of delivery also shows a copy of the dealer invoice which indicates that the car had Deluxe Equipment (side-mounts?). The picture clearly shows that the car has the metal covers on the spare tires. Question: Were the metal covers standard equipment that is missing on the three cars I am looking at or were they an option? Just trying to determine if something is missing that should be there.
