Does anybody know a source for a trunk lock retainer for my '54 Clipper?

Thanks

There are many vendors specializing in NOS and repro Packard items, try any of them including us 800-526-1096 ext 336. probably listed on our website www.kanter.com

This is what you are looking for. I would imagine the vendors should have them.

Thanks guys - I didn't see it in my older copy of the Kanter parts list, but I'll give a call tomorrow to check.

I couldn't find a drawing of the inside of the trunk lid, I am assuming it slides in from the center, down over the cylinder, down towards the lip of the trunk?

Yes you are correct. That is how it is attached on my car.

thanks. when I got my car recently - one of the few things wrong with it was the missing trunk lock. I was surpised to find the orignal working cylinder in the glove box, key matching. So all I'll need is the retainer and it will be all back in order. This site has been indispensible in helping me understand the car.

My trunk lock, emblem, and bezel were missing as well when I got my car as well. So I totally understand.

The retainer pictured looks like the one on my '55 Clipper too. This may broaden the search field.
