Re: 1939 Packard grille assembly instructions

I helped assemble a set of shutters for a 1936 Twelve a few weeks ago - the assembly was quite straight-forward, dare I say almost obvious, with ONE exception. Examine all the individual shutter blades carefully as, if similar to the Twelve, the two extreme end blades, left and right, will have a slightly different lip construction as they don't have a following blade to overlap. After the blades have been riveted to the actuating arms, best to have a buddy or two and plenty of hands available to get all the pivot pins inserted into their sockets before bringing the top and bottom sections together.
