Elsewhere in the same section you will find a full page advertisement for Parker Rust Proof Company on Page P-57. This company provided a special primer called "Bonderite" for both Studebakers and Packards.
Apparently no one today remembers what rust buckets these cars were in the day.
I bought my first Packard in 1959. By then all the Packards were on the last row of the lot, and all lacked rocker panels and most had other rust related issues. I finally found a 1956 Patrician in good shape, for which I paid $550. Much as I ;liked the interior, the headlight area had pinpricks, as did the rockers. the door bottoms were suspect as well.
And we all remember Studebaker front fenders and the lack of a proper interior splash guard.
Bonderite must have been associated with bondo, another fine product of the era....
