Relatively rare 1953 Sportster just showed up on Facebook and for those who do not use Facebook, here is a photo. The seller wants $2,500 and says it’s solid with solid floors and has good chrome and bumpers. He said he pulled the engine to do an LS swap, then decided to keep it stock before losing interest.

That’s far too long with old fluid in it.

In this site’s Vendor Directory, which is listed as Directory in the left side menu, note that Hagen’s Auto Parts closed a few years ago so should probably be removed from the list. A shame too as they had about everything related to electrical components and other small bits and pieces! They were located very near where my grandparents lived and where I used to store my 1941 Henney-Packard before moving back to California in the early ‘70s and having it transported down.

I have a nice original on its way to my Oregon shop and which, I hope, will arrive in one piece. I’d no one has come forward by then with the information, I will be happy to measure it.

It does say that - mistakenly - but it is obviously a senior transmission by the diameter of the pilot.

This is not one of mine but is virtually identical. These attach directly to the carburetor's inlet using a short double-ended 1/8" pipe nipple and the inlet connects to the steel line from the filter by way of a 1/8 pipe to 1/4" (?) flare adapter. Since it's right there at the carburetor, it is very easily serviceable and all my Packards from 1940 and up have had a filter in this location.

Rather little surface area for the amount of air that the engine needs. You would be far better off using a stock filter or at least something considerably larger!

Re: Radio for 52 packard

1951 and 1952 Packard radios didn't really have bezels as such. The radio dial projected through a close-fitting rectangular opening in the dash while the two knobs simply stuck through the recessed holes with a small chrome bowl-like piece behind each one. Point is, there are no aftermarket radios that are even close to this configuration must less with the wide spacing that the 1951-1952 radios used.
That said, your best bet would be to find a stock radio, then send it out to one of the companies that retrofits old radios to modern innards. That way you'll have the best of both worlds: a radio that matches the car and one that has modern technology.

Aren’t those the plates from the parts book? If so, they are available in the literature section but if not should be easy to put together into a PDF.
