Is there a way to get water stain out of an otherwise perfect 1946 Clipper cloth seat?

My recently-acquired 160 doesn't go into overdrive. Is there a most likely cause for this?

Of course. I remember those trucks. Never realized that they had Packard engines.

I don't remember the date of publication of the magazine, but I do remember that I was there that day and rode home to Indiana with my dad (Packard dealer) in one of those gold cars. My sole claim to fame. I was five years old.

Question about Packard/White 6 Cyl. Engine

There is a 6-cylinder engine for sale on FB Marketplace. The cylinder head has both Packard and White cast into it. As a (mostly) postwar guy, I'm ignorant about this. I do know Packard built 6-cylinder taxicabs in the 22nd and 23rd series, but I thought for Packard, rather than White? Did Packard provide engines for White? If so, what were the their uses?
Compelled by curiosity--again. Link follows. facebook.com/marketplace/item/8332159956 ... 610d4d4-5f3e-4cbd-b124-2667199dbd88

What you all have answered makes really good sense. It's good that we have this place with Packard experts ready to answer questions like mine. Thank you all.

Golden Anniversary Puzzler

There is for sale on FB Marketplace a 1949 Deluxe Eight sedan with gold paint and what appears to be a 1952 cormorant hood ornament. The ID plate appears to say 2362, which would be a 23rd series small eight sedan. However (and this is the Puzzler) if you look at the interior, it appears to be somewhat-worn Custom Eight maroon broadcloth with piping, etc. The door cards appear to be Custom Eight, also. Thde headliner, while apparently of the same maroon fabric, is standard side-to-side,rather than Custom Eight longitudinal. Would the factory have put a Custom Eight interior into a small eight sedan on special order? Would Custom Eight interior parts fit a small eight? Curiosity consumes me.
Although advertised as a repaint, this might be a Golden Anniversary model. The owner apparently thought so when he bought it. My dad was a dealer and he got two of these at model introduction time. I was in kindergarten that year and I remember them sitting hidden in our back yard until announcement day. If anyone out there is intested, this car has been advertised for a year and the owner appears ready to listen to offers. As I presently own four Packards, I am self-disqualifying. facebook.com/marketplace/item/7357913615 ... ffc70cc-d2ef-47f4-b8d7-22b2913c2ee6
