Re: Packard 356 Engine/block needed

Must be from a 1940 model with that build date. Is it actually "01 6 39" or "1 6 39". I am curious because the 356 block on my '47 is marked "8 26 47" with no prefix "0" for the month. Since the 356 wasn't offered until the 1940 models it also seems like a very early 356 if made in January 1939 so I wonder if the build date was 1 June 1939 in which case the date sequence was changed at some point between 1939 and 1947 from D/M/Y to M/D/Y.
