Since there is no regulator, have you changed to an alternator or 12 volt system for the car.? My regulator has been a source of many problems, trying to keep car origianal, so I may give up on it.

Joe, since you have disassembled this car and you are putting it back together what do you think of the original workmenship and build of the Briggs body and Packard design of the automobile. thanks Looks great!

In last nights' movie on TCM, the couple stole a Victoria convertible just like this. The girl made a uturn so there was a good shot of the Packard. Boyfriend jumps in, you could see him shift to 2nd then 3rd as they speed off. I look for Packards in old movies.

Just received new rear springs from Eaton. Should they be painted before installation ? If so , with what paint? Thanks

Thank you whippersnapper. That '48 Packard was featured in an article by Haggerty.com. The guy also owns a '48 Cadillac I believe.My car is the same color but has the lite gray woodgrain interior finish with blue and gray stripe cloth.

I agree with all the above. I like the chrome tail fins. They are tastefully done with the Packard logo. I am partial to my "48 Deluxe Sedan. Although a 'bathtub' to some , she is really a hit at local car shows. A beautiful Agate Blue, she is liked by young and old. At a recent show. participants and visitors, voted for their favorites. the Packard came in number 4 of the Top 25. It was the only untouched or restored car there.

Don't feel so bad , it is hard to tell when these switches are on or off. I always check the head lights to be sure they are off.

Viewing the engine compartment, this car has the electromatic clutch.

I always check out these Pickings. So many old Packards. I guess a lot of owners along the way. What a history they could tell if only they could talk.
