Re: 1939 hood ornament removal

Home away from home

Loosen the center hood trim, slide it back a little bit. Then, slide your hood ornament back. May take a good bump with the palm of your hand. It's only held in by friction.

Have you re-torqued your cylinder head several times since putting the engine back together?

Re: Packard 356 engine wanted

Home away from home

My brother has one that has been rebuilt and pickled. It was done by THE 356 expert, and was the last one he did. It is in Minneapolis, but could be delivered to Hershey in the fall. $12,000

Re: Chrome disc wheels on a 1932?

Home away from home

On second thought, I think she said it was because of their reduced unsprung weight, and that they were faster to to change (knock-off).

The wheel in question is a true steel disc wheel . . . These were quite often found on export cars as they were a much stronger wheel than the . . . steel wire spoke.

I once asked Denise McCluggage why most racers drove sports cars with wire wheels vs solid steel wheels. Her answer was just the opposite. She said that the wire wheels were stronger.

Re: Identifying a Trunk

Home away from home

It may have come off of a Packard, but it is not a Packard accessory. Much different than the ones Packard offered.

Re: Was a 1955 Caribbean modified to make a 1956 Caribbean prototype?

Home away from home

I think the car in the Aldrich shop is serial numbered as a 1956... #1. Can't quite remember. I plan on going over there this week sometime. I'll check. If I can.
