I would like to remove the skirts on my 55 four hundred to replace the centers on my Packard wire wheels
I noticed that there is only one bolt at is holding the skirt and place if I remove that one both will the skirt drop down I am used to The many 1960s cars I have owned with usually have a lever that attaches to the top of the quarter panel of the wheel well
Thanks


Yes, the skirt will (or should) drop down at the rear, ready for removal once the bolt is removed. No lever, just a single bolt and alignment pins hold each skirt. The bolt was designed in such a way as to be removed by your lug wrench that was included with each car. Same size.

Also remember that factory original center covers on factory wire wheels did not have a painted red hexagon on the center. The red was always made of 3M reflective "Scotchlite."
