Re: Peterson's 1940 Packard

After almost 2 years, I finally have the Packard back together. This past weekend, I drove 500 miles to Milwaukee (Oconomowoc) for AACA's national meet, then back on Sunday. Getting off of the freeway, I happened upon Route 66 and stayed on it for about 20 miles, even though it was kind of out of the way. Ended up in Pontiac, Illinois, where there is one fantastic Pontiac Automobile Museum in town.
Hardly a hiccup the whole way. On the way home, my charging system kind of stopped working, and as of now don't know if it's the regulator or generator.
Unfortunately, I lost a luggage rack part during my trip. The knurled knob that holds the rack in place while in the upright position. Somehow the pin came out (rough roads rattled it out), and now it's probably imbedded in someone's radiator.
If anyone knows where one of these may be for sale, I'd greatly appreciate it.
