Re: Are there production figures for 1955-1956 Packards with manual transmissions?

Sierra Grove Packards are the folks that sell the Torque-Flight conversion adapters to replace the Ultramatics. They have them for the 51-54 and also 55-56.

Dan Yocum is the gentleman I have bought a lot of my replacement parts from. He lives in Sylmar, CA, and at one time had 80+ 51-56 Packards on his property. The city made him get rid of most of the cars. (I think the city towed them off and crushed them, but dont hold me to that) But he still has a bunch of parts off those cars stashed away on his property. The transmission I saw was out of the car, and the car was long gone. But he told me that it came out of a Caribbean, and that is why he kept it. Thats all I know about it.
