Thank you !!! I was definitely stumped on removing the arm from the pivot. Piece of cake now !! LOL

Good afternoon all....

For those who have been there, done that....
What is the trick to removing the washer arms from a 55 Clipper ? I've looked them over pretty thoroughly, or so I thought, but could not find a release tab or device.....
Thank you in advance for the help...

ROTFLMAO.......
The trip was success ! When I got there, the gentlemen had it on the trailer already. I had stopped and bought a new battery because he had stated that he didn't have one. I through 5 gallons of gas in her. She cranked and wanted to come to life. We primed the carb and hit the key....she came to life....for a few seconds. Three more times, we did the carb prime and she started and purred like a ....TIGER ! The water pump was growling like nobodies business......ROTFLMAO. It needs a water pump. If anyone has a spare pump for a 352 collecting dust<, I'd love to take it off your hands. It has new brakes and wheel cylinders, just need bleeding. I will say, it's a tad bit rougher than I expected. But, she has good bones. Every light works, power antenna works, power seat works. It has a little bondo here and there but workable. My wheels don't fit. Need to get the tires swapped.
I am still as excited as I was on the drive down to get her ! Pics to follow in the project blog......STAY TUNED !

ROTFLMAO.......My wife just said the same exact thing !
Thank you sir.....will do......

Today is the day ! It couldn't get here fast enough !! I've a new set of shoes (tires) to put on her. Diamondback www's... About a 300 mile round trip to get her home....
It's a great day to own a Packard.

You sound like you were/ are proud of that car. I am so privileged to be associated with a group, like yourself. I was very proud of the 51 Patrician I had. It killed me to let her go. Getting the opportunity to get this 55 Constellation is beyond proud....I'm picking her up today and today could not get her fast enough. I have about a 300 mile round trip to get her home......Pics to follow !

Thank you for that info Sir ! I just felt that it needed to be said.....respect speaks volumes......

Thank you Sir !

Just added "Connie" to the registry ! Will add all the particulars once I get to cleaning on her.....
