Re: WTB: 1939-40 160 Coupe Super 8

Dual side mounts means that the car has the spare tires mounted externally in the fenders. These were an option on the eight cylinder Packards of this era. The 160 in Pennsylvania has them. They do look quite elegant but can be a pain as they make servicing the car more difficult. For some operations, you will first have to remove the spares and this is not as easy as it sounds. Also, they add a lot of weight to the front of the car.
