Re: Assembly of Sidemount Covers for 1936 Packard 120

Although I don't have experience with 120 sidemounts I do have experience with sidemounts on my '33 1002. On the '33, the tread cover fits over the sidewall "doughnut" cover and its springiness holds to both the sidewall cover and the tire tread. My car has clamp-on sidemount mirrors and the mirrors don't exhibit vibration and are totally effective as rearview mirrors. There is no foam rubber or any other kind of padding in the fenderwells.
