Hi Ken:

Do you have any idea how the flexible run channel was installed on your '37? Daryl

Does anyone out there know when Packard go from steel over wood to all steel construction. Or was wood phased out over a year or two?

On a side note I like my rubber goods from Steele, but I order them through Max Merritt as they offer it at 10% off.
I was completely happy with the window run channel that I got from Rubber the Right Way and the price was ~$1 a foot less than most places. I live about 150 miles from them, but one of the grand kids live near them. So we took the RV down for a visit and picked it up to avoid the shipping.

On the junior line: 1938 was the first year for all steel.
The 1939 V12's are the last wood framed bodies. I'm think but are not 100% sure on the 39 super 8's.

The short answer - wood framing ended in 1939 with the Twelve only, and in 1938 with the Super Eight and Twelve only. The juniors were primarily all steel starting in 1935 with the "120" though they did use small amounts of structural wood in a few limited areas thru 1937 and partially dependent on body style.

Daryl,

I don't. All the windows are installed in my car right now, and I haven't had them apart. I can take some pictures if you think it would help. Let me know.
