Please post a photo but if it’s the original, they are held on by a wedge underneath. You have to remove it from the car, remove the body from the base and the tabs on the wings with the wedge between should be visible. Just gently tap it back into place.

G'day Ray,  to PackardInfo. I'd be more concerned about cracking the windshield!  Apart from that, I invite you to include your '52 Mayfair in the Packard Vehicle Registry.

Protect that windshield! They are impossible to find. I should know.

Yes, it's an original so just follow the outline I provided and I'm sure you'll find that the wedge has worked itself loose or it wasn't put in tightly when restored.

Thanks, next question, I assume it is attached to the trim strip on the hood and that the whole thing has to be removed, can you confirm? I'm finding the shop manual is not as descriptive as I'd like. Thanks

If I understand your question correctly, yes - to get to the underside of the hood ornament you'll need to first remove it from the hood.

I see a line of screws down the center of the underside of the hood but nothing more substantial as I have seen on other cars under the mascot. I guess what I am asking is it attached to that strip and then the strip is attached to the hood? I'd rather not be unscrewing any more 70 year old screws than necessary.
