« How many legs does a horse have if you call the tail a leg?
Still four - calling it one doesn’t make it so. »

This is one of the fabrics offered by Packard in 1955 from an original dealer's upholstery book. Looks pretty close to the upholstery in this car if not an exact match. I like it a lot.
Not the same. Car in the ad has a pattern of leaves

The wires were an option on a 400. The interior fabric seems off. The level stance is a good sign for the Torsion-Level

The houndstooth wool was also used in the Eight. I believe there was also a striped broadcloth

If you try to make your own, there are a bunch of other questions
what was the original made of? You want to base it on neoprene, is that usual for this service?
assuming neoprene is a good choice, it’s not neat neoprene, it’s a compound
what other additives and fillers, at what levels? What durometer - this is certainly important. The old degraded one is stiffer than the replacement needs to be

According to the manufacturer, some Nylon/Carbons can after annealing, but I’m game to try it and report back, I’m also considering Alsa Chroming
To electroplate, the material must conduct electricity. So you would need the polyamide (« Nylon ») to have a conductive type of carbon black compounded in at high enough levels for the particles to form microscopic connected networks. The amount of network you have determines if the material dissipates static charge or actually conducts
just throwing in some black nylon is almost certain to fail

Two horse
Yes, because taxed at two fiscal horsepower

I fail to see why you would have a secret expectation of receiving more than what was the initial agreement. Regardless of the scarcity or cost of the part

You’re right there was a sweep on the lower doors

The maroon and black one is the « Charleston » submodel.

Stop trying to make up the terms after you concluded the deal.

The Errol Flynn convertible did not survive, but a recreation of it has been made. It is a handsome car. There were at least 2 convertible sedans, I think by Derham.
and yes, the boat tail is a mess

The 9-7X still had the crap quality of the Chevy it was. There wasn’t a lot of market overlap between fans of Chevy trucks and fans of Saabs. The 9-2X was interesting as a WRX that GM would discount. The Saab 9-3 was mostly Opel-derived
You can see where this approach led. Once Bonneville- LeSabre-88 become the same car, two go away.

Should super eights for 1949 have the Cormorant hood ornament?
This is the Eight Deluxe with the standard hood ornament, although the donut chaser and cormorant were optional

The material is called « shoddy » and is ground up recycled cloth

Steering wheel center? My Packard used a similar brass disk, painted

I think so long as these clubs focus on authenticity they have common ground.
exclusion/inclusion of modified vehicles could be a deal breaking issue-

Facebook freaked out for a little while, it is back up and steady.
That car looks like a lot of orange peel or something funky. But wow, it represents a phenomenal car. I would own it, as is, for $8,000. I would probably never repaint it, but might.You think it’s a « great bargain » but worth 20% less. Interesting logic

This may be a dumb question, but why bother with power steering? Just use the original manual steering. I don’t think this thing is going to be turning any hot laps. Or has it already been switched to Toyota steering ?
