Well, it was seriously sagging!
Didn't want anything moving around when we took the body off the frame.

It is a funny thing that this is your next project. A 1940 Packard 120  I am currently restoring a speedometer for a 1946 Packard Clipper and I am curious about the speedometer and gauges in this model. All I can tell you is that they built speedometers like clocks back in the 40's. They have certainly got more easy to repair as time went on.
I am also curious if the speedometer has a trip odometer and if it is reset by a cable?
By the way, I love the dinette set and if I was closer, I would try and talk you out of it 
Keep up the great work,
Take care,

Thanks Tom. First off, I apologize for the late reply. I don't have the speedometer available, and I didn't take the car apart to see how it worked either. Wish I could help you out with those details. The table set was in the back of a customer's van. We replaced a window regulator and spotted it and ended up trading for it. They had just brought it back from their beach house and was going to put in in storage, so it had seen almost no use.
