Sorry, thought the car in questions was a 1928 526 sedan.

Don't stop looking for bolts after you find 6. There can be up to 10 bolts holding the body to the frame.

Check the springs for part numbers stamped into the leaves. Original Packard springs had the numbers on them as well as the weight ratings.

Thanks for the ideas. No holes in the frame for the front latches, so perhaps the rivet idea is the way to go, though the frame covers are painted and the base of the latch is chrome. How to rivet it on is the question. Does it get riveted before painting and just mask the latch base? Will try it that way to avoid messing up the paint with the riveting process.

1929 6th Series Hood Latches
|

---|---|---|---|---|

I'm stumped. The sixth series has front frame covers that run from the firewall forward to the front of the frame. They have holes for both of the hood latches on each side. The rear pair of holes line up with a threaded plate attached to the splash apron, so that is what the rear hood latches are attached to. The front pair of holes is directly over the frame and there are no corresponding holes in the frame. What do the front hood latches attach to? It doesn't appear that there would be room between the frame cover and the frame to accommodate a nut since the frame cover is attached to the frame with oval head screws and the frame cover holes and corresponding frame holes are countersunk, indicating tight fit. Can anyone help with this mystery. Have attached a picture of the front pair of hood latch holes to better illustrate the area I am concerned with.
Thanks, Jim Wayman 640 Phaeton

I believe that Henry Yeska stocks them.

The switch assembly is part number 178009 and was used from at least as early as the 443 model. I think I have one or two spares if you are still looking. Let me know your email and I will look.

The first tag is a puzzle. The 291 would seem to indicate a body from around the third series. The second tag is correct for a 1929 cub sedan as the 336 is the 1929 club sedan body type and the 1525 indicates the 1525th body of that type made in 1929. A picture of the first tag might be helpful.
