On the 1951 Packard 200 4dr sedan, how is the jack stowed in the trunk? Usually the foot off the jack goes in the center of the spare tire and the wingnut tightened down. But where does the rest of the jack and handle go?

The jack components, lug wrench and spark plug/fender skirt wrench were all packed in a cardboard box which was stored in the trunk, all the way forward, on the "hump" just below the package shelf. The box itself was in reproduction for decades, not sure if it still is.

Hmmm, seem to be missing the cardboard box, as well as the fender skirt socket......

Thanks Owen John
