Good morning,
Thanks for the info! I uploaded another photo. Just to verify: The chrome piece attached to the hood itself is designed to rotate around the bottom center strip? Mine is definitely not doing that (and I don't think it has for years). I lubricated it but it is in pretty rough shape. I will be purchasing a new center strip and installing that soon.

"Anyway, thanks for posting. Nice car. Don't be afraid to post questions as long as it's not one of the endless debates/discussions that pop up from time to time, like oil weight, radial vs. bias, or paint colors."
Definitely! I have got plenty of other technical questions in the que. Stan

1932 Center Hood Hinge Operation

Good morning all,
I am trying to figure out the correct operation for the center hood hinge on my '32. It doesn't have what looks to be a "traditional" hinge. It almost seems as if the center strip "bends" as the hood is opened. Is that correct? I just want to make sure that I am not causing any unnecessary damage when opening the hood. Thank you!

Thanks for the comments, everyone!
My goal for the weekend is to clean and organize the garage before I get too heavy into anything. I have started to make a prioritized list of items to purchase and to conduct research on. I will do my best to search the archives on this site so I don't end up asking redundant questions that have probably been answered dozens of times. Stan

Good morning!
My wife and I recently purchased our first Packard and I wanted to take the time to make a brief introduction. It is a 1932 Super Deluxe Eight 903 Phaeton. Body Number 511-45. I would consider it an unrestored original. Probably in the 1950's, it received one repaint, a new top, and new seat upholstery. It is currently not running but I hope to have that remedied this Summer. Overall, my plan is to get it running, adjust the brakes, install new tires, and enjoy the car "as-is" for now. I have lot's of technical questions that I will be asking over the next few months. Thank you! Stan Attach file: '32 Packard RF.jpg (385.67 KB)
