A couple days ago I went to visit a friend. He was not at home, so I went snooping around his Packard hulks. I spied a shadow outline of the Packard script on the quarter panels of a 53 300. With paper and pen in hand, I did a rubbing and mapped out were the holes were. When I got home I laid out the map over the holes in on my drivers side front fender. A perfect match. The script on the quarter panels had four mounting studs, so with the use of the map I located where the fourth hole should be located. A few minutes of sanding and yippee there it was, the fourth hole.

My conclusion, The script that was used on the rear quarter panels for 53 senior cars will fit on my front fenders. Is this proof positive that my car is the prototype? No, but it is one more similarity.
