Last night I sent an e-mail to Classic Car Auto Parts regarding the problem with Packard gas tanks. It was Classic's site where I found the Chevy tanks I talked about earlier.

This morning I had a reply waiting for me. They asked for the dimensions and pictures of our tank and said they would see what they could do.

Needless to say, I fired off a reply stating the number of years and models that use this tank. I also went on a bit about what a problem it is for Packard owners and that no one makes a replacement tank. I also said that the Tri-5 Chevy tank is almost perfect except for the inlet pipe being on the top rather than the bottom like Packard's. Of course, I also offered to do anything else they needed. I mean, if they want me to ship them my tank, they've got it!

I'm probably reading more into their reply than is there but they are a company that makes tanks for the early Olds Toro so maybe......

I'll let everyone know when I hear back.
