The Owners Manual is also from 1953

You can do this with a solenoid (clicker) type pump as they allow fuel to flow through when the pump is off. It won't work with a rotary or vane type pump as they won't allow fuel to flow through when the pump is off.

Oil may go bad from accumulating contaminants but it doesn't go bad from age. When it comes out of the ground, most oil is at least 10 million years old, some of it is 300 million years old.

This apparently was a problem back in the day, too. The 51-52 caps have 8 tabs on the back but the newer 53-54 caps have 16.

The door handles are chrome. An option to having yours rechromed is to find a good set from 54 or 55 as they are all the same.

Do you have radial tires? They can cause enough flex in the wheels to allow hubcap creep.
I had this problem and bent the "teeth" out until the hubcaps were nearly impossible to put on. I took some JB weld and made a couple little bumps on the rim where the teeth ride. This seems to have worked.

Whatever you do, resist the temptation to try starting this car! The entire fuel system should be cleaned out first.
Also a reminder that 1954 Packards used 6 volt, positive ground electrical systems. Engine parts are readily available. If this car has power windows, they are hydraulically operated. All the parts are available from Hydro-Electrics at pretty reasonable prices.
