I have a NOS center section I can sell you

See what gerry wants.

Think he still has a 55 bumper. Check

Good suggestions but, I just spent $600 on a 2nd set of carpeting that I was not expecting to do, and still have about $1k in rubber seals that I need. Who knows what after that? I can only spend so much each month so it drags the process out.

I will polish what I can and I may try to camouflage it as Howard suggested. Down the road I may try to replace it altogether or new chrome.

I have to prioritize.

Believe me Stewart.

I know. Low end of s.s...

This image shows the original B piller medallions and the pair I bought off eBay about 5 years ago.
The original pair are beyond repair that's why I bought this other pair.

I cleaned them up and wet-sanded them with 1000 grit. Then I buffed them with my Dremel.

I plan to use that gold touch-up pin and try to repaint the logo with model paint and then add some "Chrome Paint" to the backside.

If anyone has a good image showing exactly what they are supposed to look like, can you post it, please?
I have a good idea of what it should look like then I noticed a hint of gold in the largest diameter of the logo and I was not expecting that. Thanks

Found these while browsing Packard stuff on Facebook. Not sure what years the emblems are from.
