I don't know of an outlet unless from one of the vendors. Max says "inquire" and there is a core charge so he must refurbish them.

I guess those things never had any kind of galvanizing or protection except a thin coat of paint. They do self destruct very easily. The radiator hose necks on the transmission coolers are another high rustout item so at least you're spared that one.

One of the PI regionshttp://www.packards-today.com/ has repro's in brass for 51-4 and 55-6 but nothing listed for prior engines. Don't know offhand the difference your engine would be to the 51-4 piece except maybe the hose angle. If the Napa item won't work and you can't find a parts car, maybe an option.

On the parking lights, Max has lenses and bezels -- for a price. If the whole housing is missing then it's probably going to be find one off a parts car. There should be any number of those cars out there so am sure that would be the cheapest way. Max lists a complete assy but it's "inquire".
