Thank you for the tool suggestion and interesting about the headliner! I’m quite surprised that the 1956 Packard Executive would be so different when it was based on a 1956 Clipper Custom like mine.

Not sure what you mean, the parts book gives them as the same.

Both model numbers in the parts book for the black headliner were for the Packard Executive and I see no reference to any other model. Did I miss something?

Oh, I see what you mean! I have code 41 but absolutely do not have a black diamond headliner! These charts and specifications are written before the cars were built so are often off. For example, the sales book for mine shows 41 as having two colors while mine has three in addition to a pressed vinyl.

Re: the bumpers
Was there something particular you needed to see?
I took lots of photos when taking mine apart

I presume you’re referring to my request for an exploded view. No, nothing specific. I’m looking for an exploded view to be able to more easily identify all the various bits of hardware holding it all together.
