The new emblems do not come with mounting studs therefore my guess is that they will need to be attached with emblem glue.
Whoa!!! If you try gluing anything to those plastic emblems, you'll likely end up ruining them.
Those are the very same emblems that Packard used on the 56 Seniors - on the side of the roof, just behind the rear quarter window (C-pillar). On those models, the plastic emblems are merely sandwiched between a brushed stainless trim (as a mask) and the body, but backed up by a (rubber?) pad. IIRC, the emblem/pad was also held to the back of the stainless trim (likely for the benefit of assembly) by a piece of wide tape - over the pad, but NOT touching the plastic.
I see that the 48-54 parts book shows a similar pad for the emblem (Gr, 30.7954), but I can't explain the need for the two 8-32 nuts.
If you haven't found the answer from careful disassembly and inspection of your own vehicle, let's wait and hear from other owners of similarly-equipped models.
