Also, this may seem a silly question, but remember i am a beginner and learning, is:-
Between the front seat and back seat, when top down, you have a glass mini window, what is the correct name for this?

Do you mean and dual-cowl equipped car, or a dual-windshield? (no cowl).

In closed limos you also had a divider window between the driver and the passengers.

Yes the divider window. Is it then a Cowl ? its only small in hieght. When seeking to repair, do i ask for divider window ? for super eight conv 48.

For the 22nd and 23rd series convertibles Packard offered a rear tonneau windscreen for their convertibles, they are EXTREMELY RARE! Don't know if that's what you've got, but I believe the accessory is pictured in the promotional materials Packard printed for those cars.

I've seen ONE in all my years of looking at Packards. There have been some attempts to repro parts of that accessory though I don't know how successful those attempts were. I'm searching for a photo of the accessory, will edit this post if I can locate one.

Yes Sounds like the one I saw in a picture. Yes please let me know if available as repro ?

Rear tonneau windscreen for the 22nd/23rd series convertibles. Sorry it took a while to find a photo, but that just shows how rare an accessory it was. Thanks to Stuart Blond of PAC for the photo.

Oh wow, thanks Owen. yes that's it . Sure hope it gets available as repro one day.

Now I own a 23rd series Deluxe 8 and my seats had been redone before I bought the car. Now, I see that you are obviously going to be repainting the car. I myself would try to keep the entire car as original as possible. You said the color was Code H, or was that a suggestion? I do agree with other posters, however, that you should have the seats professionally redone, and should keep the car one of the factory colors, maybe just a few tone bits off if you really wanted, too. Is your dash board painted the same color as the exterior? If it is you will probably need to repaint that as well. I believe that white leather was an interior trim, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Do you actually have that divider window accessory in your car? Good luck!

Of the packard colors, did they ever do a light green ?

the PAC site has the color charts. I think there was a fairly wretched pea soup green, rarely seen
