All 35-36 8 cyl 120's had an 8 lobe dual point distributor

To set timing you can rotate distributor until you get maximum vacuum reading on a vacuum gauge at idles. Then take it for a drive and see if it pings under loaded and retard a bit at a time until it stops pinging.

Senior Packards all had 5" bolt circle wheels, the only ones with 5 1/2" BC were hearses and ambulances. Clippers in 56 had 4 1/2"bolt circle which is the same as Ford. Hope this clears up any uncertainty.

I have personally helped with maintaining Fred and Dan Kanters collection of cars. We have been using silicone brake fluid on their cars for years with no ill effects to any components of the systems whether it be the BTV, wheel cylinders or switches. It is an ideal fluid for classic cars that do not see daily use because it does not absorb moisture like that of DOT3

Use very fine steel wool, grade 000 or 0000. The rust is about the same shade as the wood graining. Then coat lightly with gloss urethane. Than let the paint fully cure before waxing

I checked with Fred Kanter on question and this was his reply:

We've only seen two or three juniors with other than tan striped cloth, we owned it for 15 years.
One was all original inside with green striped wool cloth and the drivers seat back was worn out. I don't recall where we got a piece to reupholster that portion but it was old original material not new reproduction. The others were blue striped material and all original inside.

Concours d'Elegance is a French term.. Concours in English means contest...d'Elegance means "of beauty or elegance". Thus it means beauty contest (for cars).

As a side note judging was only on the beauty of the cars, not the presence or absence of blades of grass in the tire treads or creases in the leather. Leave it to Americans to bring things to the ridiculous with fist fights erupting at Pebble Beach on occasion
