Good Morning...Since you are in Hawthorne, you might want to speak to Robert Escalante at Custom Auto in Santa Ana. His shop has specialized in Packard Automobiles for over 30 years. They are at Third and French, in Santa Ana, if my memory is working this morning. The phone number is 714-543-2980.

Also, on the Packard Club web site, on the left column, about 2/3 of the way down the listing is a red tool box. In that area is a very long and complete listing of all of the possibilities for your Packard to run warm/hot.

In our case, we had a number of things that were slightly off and when all corrected the old girl now runs cool down the road and about 195 at long lights.

We did finally design and install a radiator shroud which also helped.
