"Overheating" should never be an issue with any postwar Packard that is at factory specs. Overheating is often in the mind of the owner, rather than a reality. I define overheating if there is boiling in the radiator or coolant loss. A temp. gauge pointer that is close to H does not necessarily mean the car is overheating...


Dwight, you make a good point. This got me to thinking that perhaps oil temperature is more critical to engine operation than coolant temperature. Has anyone ever used an oil temp gauge on a Packard? If so, on what car and what were the readings when compared to coolant temperature?
