Morgan, I note in the ad for your Pat it said "The load leveling suspension is not working. I believe this is due to the paint applied during the restoration, but cannot be sure without access to a lift and someone more knowledgeable of the system than I." As others said earlier in the piece, there are a number of people here who will be able to help with advice, and Hank's Project Blog will give you a working guide as well.

Eric, The front springs in my '41 Coupe were shot when I got it. Pic below is of one of them, but both had spacers in them to give them back a bit of travel. And when the springs came out they were straight, no bend or kink. Therefore I suggest that new, or at least good 2nd hand springs, be used. Or have some wound up to your spec's, as you'd want to drop the front end in the Speedster a bit I'd imagine.

G'day Al,
See you've put the question into the Chatroom again [yazdi] 11:14 am: Good evening gentlemen, i am a new member. I just purchased a 1924 packard 143, 5-7 passenger from a friend of mine. He owned this car for a long time. Can anyone tell me where would I find the VIN plate or the chassis number. I can clearly see the engine number on the lower right side of motor. thanks, Al Have a look at this thread on the Packard Automobile Club of Australia's website. There could be something in there which might help. And note that DavidM there is also a member of Packardinfo. http://packard.freeforums.org/23-packard-t16.html
