However, the plain cap with bail was a 1932 and 33 . It did not have the feather which began in 1934.


Tim. Is this the cap you write about?

That's the one.

I suspect it was introduced mid-series as cars with the plain cap clearly do not have the vacuum clutch in period photos.

Dave, Crin, Tim, et al, I am familiar with 'bale' in sailing nomenclature and looking at that cap, I would definitely call that a 'bale' wire.
Bale: A fitting on the end of a spar, such as the boom, to which a line may be led.

If you look in the dictionary, the definition of "bail" is the only correct way to spell what Packard uses on its hood ornament.
So, Packard had it right from the beginning in calling it a bail.

Not so sure, West. This is a marine bale that goes on a boom and when installed it looks a lot like the wire on the Packard cap?? Chris

I'm going by Webster dictionary definition, which describes what you posted as a "bail." Webster's does not define "bale" as anything like that.

OED cites 'bale' as a variant spelling of 'bail' so I guess both are acceptable.
