The ignition was replaced and has it's own key. This would explain whey there is no door key. The car came from an estate (PO purchased in 1972) and I'm sure sure the concern was selling the car not selling the car complete.

I am looking for pictures of how and where to mount the jack in my trunk and pictures of how to secure the spare. At some point the trunk in my car was fully finished and the jack was just in the middle of the trunk and the spare was just in the tub with a full vinyl cover over it when it cam into my care. The spare does have a threaded mount but no nut or plate of any sort.

I found the pulls for the rear doors and installed them. With a half a can of white lithium grease they work wonderfully.

I have also had the water pump rebuilt and installed it. No more coolant dripping from the weep hole. The Flying Dutchman did a wonderful job rebuilding it.

I am still looking for one serrated pull for the front drivers door. I also need to pull the front door handles off to re-key the locks as it did not come with door keys and the trunk key does not work in the doors. Any helpful hints would be appreciated.

I am working on a 1954 Super Clipper. It's my first Packard. I have purchased new rubber pulls for the door locks (and many other items). One went on flawlessly. The other three not so much luck. I pulled the trim on the right front door and the little serrated "thing" that the rubber attaches to is missing. The right rear door is broken off so short I can't attach the rubber pull to the serrated "thing". After a liberal application of white lithium grease the door locks and unlocks nicely with a hook on the little eye where the "thing" should be attached. Any idea if the serrated "thing" is available anywhere? Or any Idea what the "thing" is called?

On a side note... I'm the third owner. It came from an estate with the last caretaker taking possession in 1977.
