Cosmetic restoration performed on a case-by-case basis. Phone estimates provided when possible. Honest, knowledgeable, friendly service. Call with any questions. Chris recently reconditioned my 37 Packard Speedometer and now works and looks like new

I was told by the gentelman that actually rebuilds the overdrives and transmissions that you shoul only use the Napa GL-1 mineral gear oil because the modern additives destroy the brass bushings especially in the overdrive, and like you use 15W40 Rotella, my car shifts great and the overdrive kicks in smoothly

Walt,
Like you I rebuilt my engine last year and now is broken in after 3000 miles, I actually track my fuel mileage and use regular 87 ethonal fuel with the correct amount of Marvel on every fill up. My best milage on the road when I was returning from a Car show about 100 miles from my house was 22.9 with my overdrive engauged, I topped her off when I started home and as soon as I reqached home topped her off, As far as my city/highway fuel mileage I am averaging 11.2, at times I get as low as 9, bit generally between 11 - 12, I have the 282 engine and use 15W40 Rotella oil, so most likely you will experiance the same

Thank You I will

Searched and can not find a replacment fog light buld it is the 5 1/2" Yellow 4012A 6.4V 35W
If anyone knows where to get a couple or have a couple they are willing to sell let me know

Yes will fit my rack is about 40" wide and the trun is 36" so will work well.

Thank you

Yesterday one of the Guys in my Cars N Coffee group offered and gave me this Packard trunk that was his Grandfather's. I plan on having the trunk professionally refinished and will actually use when I do a overnight tour with my 37 120C.

My question? I have no idea of the hardware to use to hold the trunk on the rack and if anyone could let me know that of course will be very appreciated.

You need to activate the solenoid which will extend the shaft, then you will have the lenghth you need, after it is in just remove the jumper wires

My 37 120C uses the "Pilots" to adjust the Camber and was curious if there was a retrofit that has a off-set eccentric like latter models? it would be so much easier to adjust
