The length is about 79.5". Reproduced by K-Mart and Maximus. Or I have NOS strips available, no problem. The difference between Repro and NOS is the NOS strips have a steel stiffener underneath the stainless. Reproduction strips are shinier due to improved materials and processes. NOS strips were designed for square wire clip, whereas the Repro strips use a modern spring wire bolt thru clip, but you can use the modern clips on NOS strips... My price on strips is less than Repro due to the effort you may (or may not) want to go to polish to a modern day standard.

If you have the starter switch on your carburetor, it is wrong for your 37. The starter switch on Packard WA-1's began in 1942, tag 530s. Carb should otherwise work fine, notwithstanding minor linkage adaptation.

Because they are incorrect for a '38.

...and I'm just a poor ole' middle aged white guy trying to stay afloat. I am happy for you that you have successfully retired. I can send you a used, needs chrome bumperette for $100, or a rechromed one for $150. Pricey, maybe...but honestly, decent bumperettes have nearly dried up.

The radio is correct, 1937 115c Deluxe, speaker is separate, and you could also get an additional speaker mounted up above the rear view mirror. You can get brand new knobs (and yours are incorrect) for cheap from Joe at 818 six two five 4851.
The heater is 1940.

Ready when you are? Also have one already rechromed. (Which is the safer bet as you can see what the chrome shop did to the detail on Noel's bumperette...and Noel has already registered his desire for my unchromed original set so he can have a better pair done....Mr.PickyPickyPicky....)

Or you can buy one of Noel's rubbed out bumperettes.....probably cheaper than mine too!

the bolt circle is 5" with a 3 3/8" center hub hole. I have a set of chevy truck rims that I use as rollers, but as Jim stated, one has to drill a hole for the pin that protrudes from the brake drum. You'll see...
Pretty easy to find a set of rollers in 15" rims, but NOT easy to find an extra set of 16".

Of course...this ain't no museum. PM me and we can debate the ransom. You just need one??

(sidebar to Tabletennissport) Nooooelll...ever wonder why a secret stash is named as such??? More than 2 years on Packardinfo and all you can do is spread rumors?? Easy??? Maybe for you...I haven't seen any 38 bumper guards for sale in at least 2 years! The last one on ebay was December 1, 2007 - and I bought it! For all I know, there are more buried under the Great Wall of China...like you might be if you can't keep a secret! OR I can post the address to where your car is stored at night and send this guy a wrench...

Is this what you need?

excellent quick reply and thank you for that, however, Bob has an AUTOLITE starter on his car. 115's had delco, 120's ran Autolite, so we still need the autolite interchange. Packard....go figure...

Quick request guys, I need a favor - would someone please email or call my friend Bob - bob.wotkowski at verizon dot net or 301-980 one zero nine zero and advise the current NAPA interchange for starter brushes for a 37-120 Autolite MAX-4006. I know they have them on-line but did not bring my parts manual marked up with the info to China...please just post here that this is done, then Kevin can close this string. Hey, can we deal with Packard emergencies from afar or what? DAF
