66, Car nut as long as I can remember. Got my first Packard in 1976 a 1922 model which I still have plus a 1929 633 Roadster and 1929 633 Sedan. Hoping to kick the habit but the prospects are not good. Perhaps us Aussies could take the lead and start an "Oldcaraholics Anonymous", think of the money we would save.

Mike,
Have you looked at the Auto Color web site, they claim to have color chips for most cars from about the late 1920's including Packard, they can also supply the paint . http://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorlibrary/acl_files/packard.html I bought a colour chip for my 1929 Packard from them.

Bad luck Mal not getting the '41 registered today, should be straight forward tomorrow.
I am sure Wade will have a supplier for the new oil filter however just in case he needs it there is a company in Blacktown that sells nothing but filters for cars and trucks. They let me go out the back to search their shelves for an oil filter that I could adapt to my 1929 633. Very helpful. I think they are "Western Filters", if Wade needs it I will look up the contact details. Good luck tomorrow. David

Re those mounts on the back of the 1927 Packard tourer, they support the top frame when the top is down.

Trunnion Block,
I should have checked before stating that the trunnion blocks were on the LHS on my 1929's. I just checked , both cars have the trunnion blocks on the RHS same side as the steering box. These Packards were fully manufactured in US as RH drive cars before export to Australia. Sorry about the misinformation. As for the origin of the idea, I would suspect that Beverly Kimes was aware of the much earlier comments by Turnquist and her research revealed different information. Interesting. David

Trunnion Block.
Referring to Tom's comment that the trunnion block was introduced on the 1930 7th Series cars. At the risk of being picky, the trunnion block was introduced on the 1929 6th Series. According to the Turnquist book it can also be found on some late 443 Series (1928). Turnquist also says that it was invented by a Frenchman and the right to its exclusive use was purchased by Packard. The trunnion block is on the LHS of both of my 6th Series cars, they are both RHD.
