To All Who Assisted.
I finished the restoration of the 901 earlier in the year. I've entered it into two shows: Packards International (PI) Annual Meeting and San Marino Motor Classic (SMMC). At PI's show in the Pre-War Closed class it was awarded "Best Sport Motif" out scoring the car that finished first place in that class. At SMMC it was awarded First Place in the Packard Pre-War Closed class. So to ALL YOU that provided help on this project I send you a BIG THANK YOU!

I've been trying to locate these (both left and right sides. Does anyone have a pair they would be willing to relocate to Simi Valley for a few shekels?
Or can someone out there take a few picture of theirs and post here. I would guess that plus or minus a few years they would pretty much be the same. Thanks In Advance Marty

Greybeard - I'm in agreement - The plastic tools (web search "auto interior panel tools") used to remove door panels in cars that should work great.

On my '32 (which has a provision to be hand cranked) I squirted a little oil into the cylinders and turned it over ever once in a while. When it came time to start the car I used an 1/2" electric drill with socket to slowly "hand crank it" with the plugs removed until I got a nice oil pressure.
The one draw back I encountered with the putting oil in the cylinders was after about about 25 miles some of the exhaust valves began to stick. The sticking was caused by carbon build up on the valve stems, which I attributed to using too much oil.

They make quartz movements that mimic the tick of the second hand. Not sure about 6 volts or not nor about positive ground.

I ordered Steele Rubber P/N 30-0222-42 Hood Inner Center Rest Pads.
HELP - Can't figure out where or how they get installed. A picture would be a great assist.

This is car 1035-384. It is the car that was shipped directly from the factory to Milan Italy in 1937 for the Milan Auto Show.

There is a switch in the driver's area on the header for the interior window (see picture). What is it suppose to turn on?
