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
#8
Home away from home
Home away from home

Steve Henderson
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.

Golden Anniversary Puzzler
#10

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.
