Kev,

Know you've had a lot on your plate lately. But when you get time, could you look at 4 entries in the Owner Registry please? Being the last 3 entries for 1956, 1 by "kamstilla" and 2 by "meaarch" and the final entry in the Registry which does not contain any information.

Bill,

for adding your '37 to the Registry. Looking forward to catching up with you at future PACA events.

G'day Lee,
to PackardInfo. And I invite you to include your '49 in the Owner Registry together with a pic and any known history.

John,

A very striking looking vehicle. It's very low slung and that aspect interests me. Is the chassis "zeee'd", to coin a phrase, to permit access within the body?

Quote:
Mat,

Sorry to hear all that. About a week ago Wade did tell me about the spiral bend in the crankshaft and I'd imagine that's a very uncommon occurrence. However as we'll see you at the Rally and, presuming the '41 makes it OK, I'll give you a drive so you don't suffer too much from Packard withdrawal.

BTW - Where's that Owner Registry entry for the Carib?

Quote:
I was somewhat optimistic there I'm afraid, haven't checked fluids etc just yet. Amongst other things done today was cleaning and polishing the '41's exterior and brightwork.

And added a few "stickers":
- Rear windscreen, PackardInfo sticker courtesy of Keegan
- Rear quarter windows, 2 Packard stickers, 1 each side
- Front bumper, 3 Red adhesive vinyl hexagons to over-riders
- Rear bumper, 2 Red adhesive vinyl hexagons to over-riders
- Hood spears, 2 Red adhesive vinyl "triangles", 1 each side

Keegan had the PackardInfo stickers made quite some time ago but I wanted to wait until the rear windscreen was re-rubbered and re-sealed before I applied it. And it looks

The red adhesive vinyl stickers are MBM originals, just got to figure out now how to make one for the Packard script in the middle of the rear bumper!

Still to clean the interior, the wheels and tyres including the WWW's, the running boards and the window glass inside and out. Then a fluid check, etc. Will add the fuel on the trip down to Mittagong.

Kev,
Know it's more work for you, but how about including a field for the "Thief-Proof" Number in the Model Information section of the Owner Registry entries? Don't know why I didn't think of this before.

Thursday 19th March 2009

Up early and off to see Ken at Tibby Rose Auto Electrics. Ken checked over the Delco-Remy generator and regulator and hooked up his test machine and all checked out OK.

Now only need to check the fluids, add fuel, etc and we're ready for the 103 kilometre trip to Mittagong on Sunday morning.

Michael, thought it would be something along those lines. Now it's over to the big feller when he has the time.

G'day Roger,
Like to add my too. And if you own a Packard, I invite you to include it in the Owner Registry together with a pic, any known history and how you acquired it.
