I would recommend you obtain another plate from the folks at Under Cover Upholstery and Paint, Inc. They offer some interesting products.http://www.ucuap.com/Products_PackardParts.html

I ordered a plate for my 23rd series a couple years ago, and it was an exact replica. Any decent jeweler will be able to duplicate the Packard font. If you do order from these folks, specify that you do not want the screw holes pre-drilled. They sent me a plate where this had been done, but Murphy's law quickly proved that they did not line up exactly with the holes in my cowl. They quickly supplied me a second plate without holes, and I took care of that task myself. I couldn't be happier. I have kept the old one in my glove compartment, ready for inspection, just as Kev suggested.
