Thanks to all for the suggestions. I was able to clean up a few threads, switched to a thinner washer and have ~5 good threads.

Lots of time on my hands, walking around the car tonight and looked at the license plate light. It is clear glass with PACKARD in raised letters. Anyone know if the letters were originally painted or was the whole thing clear?

I have a lot of people driving up staring and squinting trying to make out the PACKARD on the light. Only when the car is stopped and you see the Packard on the hub caps do people know what it is

BTW, highly recommend the woodgraining kits available, using the same process Packard pioneered to paint there dashes. Intimidating, but reasonably easy to use. Just finished all the window trim, gauge panel, glove box door and main dashboard. During the stripping, found a small section under the chrome of the original color and grain. The match is very close
