Pac5 - Thank you for the photos. You did not mention what car they are from. The backing plate holding the gages looks completely different than what I have. Is yours a 528/33?

Help Needed with 1928 526 Dash Wiring

I need some help with the behind the dash wiring on my 1928 526 Sedan. I believe the wiring would be the same for any 526/33 body style.
It appears that the wiring has been changed over the 90+ years the car has been around. So my questions are: 1). The instrument/dash lights (two are shown on wiring diagram) are not there. Where is the switch supposed to be and where are the lights? 2) There is supposed to be a circuit breaker that 'buzzes' when there is an overload. Where is that located and what does it look like? If somebody has a dash that is out for restoration or is willing to take a cellphone photo of the underneath of the dash on an original or restored car I would be very appreciative. I have found that selfie mode on a cellphone allows you to take photos under the dash without having to be a contortionist. Any help will be appreciated. I have attached a photo of my dash. You can see it is an early car with spark and choke on top. Also attached a photo of the car. Crusty runs great. I would like to get this wiring sorted out before driving to the Pontiac National Meet this summer. Thank you, Rob Attach file:  (281.91 KB) (635.54 KB)

Now you make me wonder if the speedometer is original. If not, then mileage might not be correct. However, based on mechanical condition of the car it seems possible. More research needed.

Here are some photos of the choke and spark on my car. I don't know how they are mounted since the car has not been apart and restored. All original. I hope this helps you. Rob Attach file: (281.01 KB) (243.05 KB) (376.24 KB) (305.01 KB)

Yes it is. From the parts book it appears that this change was made with engine serial number 142172 and my engine number is 136942. I have '27 California plates on the car which were on it when I bought it. I registered it with those plates. Car is also Early C Anthony car but not sure exactly which location it was sold at. Firewall plate is blank.

I had trouble getting the photo to upload but was finally successful. It might be that files over a certain size don't work.

Thanks. I did fill out the form for the registry but my car is not there yet. Is there a review period by the admin before it is posted or did I goof up?
Also, is there a way to contact the person responsible for the registry? The body numbers that are defaulted for the 5th series are incorrect. It shows the 4 door sedan as 323 and it is actually 303. This error also exists in Kimes book on Packard. Thanks, Rob

I have contacted Jim Pearsall about this and he did not have color information. He did provide me with a copy of the salesman's book which lists the paint codes and names the colors. I need to find somebody with photos of paint chips of the 1928 5 series colors.

I am trying to determine the original paint scheme for my 526. While the wheels were re-painted on the outside the inside of the disc wheels appear to still have the original color with is a light green. Carefully scraping away paint on the outside does show what appears to be a gold pinstripe. From this information the car might be painted with Paint Scheme "J" with would have been black, Chicadee Green, and Drake Green. Does anybody have a photograph of the paint chips so that I can determine if the colors I have found on the car match any of these? I have attached a photo of the wheel and if this is Paint Scheme 'J' then the wheel color is Chicadee Green.
Does this wheel look like it is painted Chicadee Green? Does anybody know what Drake Green looks like? Any help would be appreciated. Rob Attach file:  (25.84 KB) (226.61 KB)
