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

One benefit of using the ScotchLight material as originally supplied by Packard as an accessory (over the run-of-the-mill wide stripe tape) is that is highly reflective. The hex centers are then highly visible at night (with a very cool effect), but otherwise look stock in daylight.

I only remember there being one size, but maybe that was just the repro that club offered at the time. The die-cut decals that I received were sized to fit '51-'54 wheel covers, and you'd have to "float" them in place to line them up correctly. However, I juts peeled the backing and carefully centered them on the hex recess of a '55-'56 cover, worked them into the corners, and then trimmed and peeled the excess with an Xacto knife.

The Scotchlite decals offered by the PAC mentioned earlier come in two sizes, so apparently there were at least two different sizes of hexagons used. In their ads for the Scotchlite decals PAC recommends you measure your hexagons before ordering. Sounds like a good idea to me.

I'll add that I've gotten these decals from Packard vendors, as well.

BTW, nice find on those wire wheel covers; you don't see them very often.
