Packard Forum Index » Post-War (1946-54)

I need a picture of the location of the rear fender louvers on a 1953 (2662) Packard Clipper 4door. I've been to the Google Images and googled 1953 Clipper's, I've looked at maybe 750 to 1000 images of Packard's, I found 5 pix's with louvers but no 26th series. However, non of the pix's I found helped me with my question:
It's not about how many Louvers to use, (I'm using three), it's whether the louvers go above or below the SS belt line of my 26th series. And, if I use three louvers do they all go right above the wheel well and none on the rear door.
Thank you for providing my 12th louver, I can do both the 24th and the 26th now. Help!!

Plate 16packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=534&cid=70 in the parts manual show 53s to be below the SS strip and above the fender skirt so probably centered in that space--the hardtop view almost looks as if the bottom of louver is in line with bottom of gas fill lid but hard to tell. No 4 doors shown in manual and interestingly, out of 272 photos in the 53 archive, no 4 doors are shown with the louvers so must not have been that popular an option even dealer wise. Placement judging by the hardtop photo looks like one would be toward the rear edge on the door.

Howard, you always come through.......Thank you for being so helpful to everyone.
