My brother and I purchased a donor 1953 Packard 400 for the parts that are missing on the restoration project car we're currently working on. While going through the vehicle's contents, we ran across an oddity that I'm unable to find any reference anywhere online. The best I can describe is that it's possibly a keyed governor. It has two knobs, and they turned sheathed cables with slotted ends. Both knobs and their respective cables work, but we have no key to determine if the device can be operated.
I did take several photos of the device and are posting them. As a Graphic Designer, I know the type used on the dial's face is Art Deco, and likely used into the late 30s, but certainly not in use by the mid 40s and later.
Once the contents of the vehicle have been inspected and categorized, they will be posted as items for sale. There's a lot of beautiful and perfect stainless trim inside the donor, along with Clipper trim and interior pieces. That will be a little later, for those who may ask.
Thank you for any insight you can give. I appreciate it.
Kind regards!
