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

A couple more questions that I am thinking about here at work...

This is definitely a 53, right? I made that determination based on the chrome and the fact that it has an iron head instead of an aluminum one.

The title says 54 (and matches both the body code and the patent plate), but the paperwork for it was lost at some point in the past and the title I got with it was obtained via statement so I am wondering if he just remembered the year wrong when requesting the new title a few years back.

Also, should the glove box open with the same key as the ignition? The key fits, but didn't want to turn. I sprayed some lube in there to looaen it up, bit didn't want to get too aggressive with it until I made sure that key *should* open it.

Same question on the trunk and doors. I only have the ignition key and other manufacturers then had separate door/ignition keys but Packard appears to have been pretty advanced so maybe they were keyed to match?
