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

I am sure someone can ID this license light. Cleaning out my shop to save my wife the problem if something unfortunate happens, Plus I am sure someone can use the the parts I have saved for a Packard I have sold. The upper light is like the one on my 48 custom, They both fits the hole in the bumper, I have never owned a 41 to 47 clipper therefore have no idea if that is what it was produced for. thanks for your input.

The bottom light in the fully enclosed housing is 41-7 Clipper. The one on top without an enclosed housing may be the same as your 48 but I am wondering if it could also fit the 51 or 52 senior models that had the stand up enclosure mounted on the bumper.

The 1951-52 Senior is completely different.

Thanks all; Now I know what the big one is for the 41-47 clippers. small one is for all 22nd and 23rd models. I think one could say they are interchangeable as they fit a 22nd bumper.

How or where does the bulb mount in the 51 housing shown in the parts book photo? I was thinking it might be mounted similar to the upper bezel, socket and lens assy in the photo Dell posted and something like that assy might just screw over a hole in the chrome extension part.

The light mounts down inside the large housing and the lens and frame are just that. They have no other housing.

I was thinking my 23rd's bezel is rectangular, and the one on top is angled on the sides? Can't really tell size from the pix.

Check the parts list as they should have numbers cast in.
