Packard generally used very high quality hardware and I'm loath to throw it away unless it is junk. Also, the finish on most modern hardware just isn't as good as original Packard.

When I'm dealing with a rusty relic for the first time I spray every thing with penetrating oil and let it sit for a week before starting in.

Packard cars usually come apart much easier than other brands because of the good quality fasteners.
