Re: 1937 Packard mentor needed

Welcome to the club Kody. Sounds like Amarillo or Lubbock to me! I'm from Hereford back when you could still find a Packard dealership. I would suggest that you contact the folks at the Dallas-Fort Worth club; Packards North Texas, and make the drive to attend one of their meetings. That is a good club and probably the closest to you. The Salado meet down north of Austin is a great meet to attend and lots of fun. There is another prewar swap meet in Tulsa that you might want to look into as well. And there is the Pate swap meet in Ft. Worth as well.

The Packards are well built cars and are not difficult to work on, just not quite as easy to find parts for as your Model A. But they are available. Much better than some of the other older cars. Be sure to use the "search" feature to see what has gone on in the past. Most of the rest of us don't know everything about the cars as well.

You can contact the Flackmaster by pm. He lives in Dallas and has a nice warehouse of parts, especially for the prewar cars. The 37 120 is a nice car; I have a 39 120. Good luck with the car!
