Interesting, ad says it has no transmission........

Starting bid is $10.5K which seems quite high.

Around here, we call that using "CAD" -- cardboard aided design.

Wow Don, that siren is quite an assembly -- how much does that thing weigh?

I've come across what appear to be Detroit Packard parts in a bunch of Studebaker parts. These are NOS parts. A few I've figured out the applications using the Parts Manuals posted here on PackardInfo.com, but the rest I'm not sure about. Let me know via a message thru this forum if you are interested in any of these. I'll then pull the parts and send you pictures to make sure they are right, and provide a price less shipping. Thanks, Paul

I'm posting this here, since these parts are Studebaker parts and some of them would have application to the 1957 and 1958 Packards.

Pretty much all of it is smaller parts, but still items that are needed to restore and maintain a Studebaker and '57/'58 Packards. There are a few small chrome & stainless trim parts, but most are mechanical and electrical items. Except for a few used items, these are all New Old Stock (NOS) parts.

The list is sorted by Studebaker/Packard part numbers, so the best way is to know the part numbers for the specific parts you are looking for. (Another method is to use the Ctrl-F function and search on 'Packard' but the application data may not have every specific application.) Instructions are at the top of the page.

Kevin, another idea is to use the Cord as inspiration and modify the doors to a suicide configuration. It looks like with a front opening door it might just miss the fender. If not, maybe a little modification of the lower front corner of the door (more of a curve in the lower front) would give you the clearance you need. Suicide doors on that car would be classy, and to me would go along with custom aspect of the car.

Wat, ask Fred what transmission it has......auto or manual w/od.

Good video Kevin. Watching the video, especially the part where you were standing at the back of the car, brought a question to my mind.......how do you climb into the rumble seat? That might be an interesting video - film yourself getting into the rumble seat.

Cool looking car!! I would almost go to the point of saying it's "cute".

The pic of the car on the trailer (OnTrailer2 Large.jpeg) makes the tires look HUGE......what size are they?
