Maybe it was hit from both ends. That's probably the reason the aircleaner is on backwards. Posted on: 2012/6/13 15:54

This is the second time in as many weeks I've seen pictures a cleaner on a 55-56 Packard facing the back of the car. Is there something going on here I'm in the dark about?

Fit looks a bit funny in front. Also not sure what's going on with L headlight and grill bar. Looks like it might be lower down at the hood side corner. Might be delusional optics or reflection or damage?? Posted on: 2012/6/13 18:29

I was impressed and thought I'd pass that info along. Posted on: 2012/6/14 11:59
