Re: Tips for moving a Patrician that has been parked for 35+ years?

Usually there are a pair of fog or sometimes driving lights in the location next to the bumper uprights. Unless there is something missing from the other side then if the single front spot or driving light does turn with the wheels it may be aftermarket but was not a 53 Packard option. I don't think I have ever seen one so if you could provide more details and a photo or two of the mechanism after you get into the car a bit more it would be appreciated

I do see a signal seeking radio, power antenna, rear seat speaker and heater which were technically all options but more than likely would have been included with a top of the line Patrician -- but not always. Unless empty holes are hidden by the drooping loom on the left inner fender, I don't see any evidence it ever had a windshield washer. Packard promoted those as a safety item for several years and tried to get dealers to install them on most cars so that not being on a Patrician is kind of interesting.
