Good advice from O_D and HH56.

The cap on the front wheel hub (hub cap) pries off, not pushes in - if I read your posting correctly.

There are books on basic maintenance and repair, and a parts and repair manual for your Packard is a must. A vintage copy of a"Motors Manual" that covers your year is also a good manual to have.

This Packard will also give you the opportunity to purchase a vast collection of hand and power tools. Some you will only use once (usually the most expensive ones).

This site has a wealth of information on Packards, and folks here are are always willing to share their knowledge and experiences.
