G'day jollygreengiant,
 to PackardInfo.Regarding the lenses I know there's a guy here in Australia who reproduces the clipper lenses. See paragraph #4 in this post from my Project Blog. No doubt there are re-pros available in the US but, if required, I could chase up the info on the guy here. And, I invite you to include your '54 Clipper in the Packard Owner's Registry here on PackardInfo. Attach file:  (33.77 KB) (20.07 KB)

I might suggest trying to find a set of used lenses if the car is rough. I have a freind in New Mexico that bought the repros, I'll see if he keep the original and if they are for sale. Do you have an e-mail? Regards

Thanks Dallas, I would be fine with some old lenses. I highly doubt this car will be anything more than a driver . If he still has the old ones let me know . Thanks Brian brian@mtco.com

Sandy Chico (Tucson Packard) reproduces these. They are far superior to the original plastics which tend to craze and become brittle with age. Just you will need two of them as the coloring will be off between an aged original and a repro. They run about $150 each or so.
