Very nice repro, Howard! BDC, I too have that hole in the windshield corner post and do not have a spotlight. I have not quite decided yet what to do about it, but if you elect to 'lose' yours and fill in the hole, I might be interested in your light if you were so inclined to sell it. I have seen a few on Ebay, but not sure how they'd fit and was hoping to find a Packard unit, or at least one that had been IN a Packard so I know it would fit. Maybe you could advise once you got sorted on your dilemma?...It does seem that a ton of cars are 'without' them and I'm not sure how 'proper' one would look on my car ('39 Six) - they sometimes look a little ungainly to me but like you say, the hole sure looks factory. Maybe welding up the hole is the right way to go.....
