Good day,
I stumbled on a 1938 Packard coupe with a title the car looks as it has been sitting in a barn, The car looks to be solid but is missing the bumpers and front seat. If I can get directions I will try to attach pictures of the car. I am wondering what this car is worth, I would like to be taken for a ride in the car not the seller. Best Regards, Tad tad_2670@yahoo.com |

Randy -
Just glad to see that car found its way to a good home. Hmm, 5 hours - and with a GPS - for what should have taken about an hour and a half from the PA border sure is strange. There musta been a lotta strip clubs along the way. Hope they charged by the mile and not the hour. Well, I'm sure you'll have lots of fun now with your fix for the suspension to get that lowrider look. ![]() Seriously, don't throw those old limit switches away. I was told of a good way to fix the broken wires (but darned if I can remember it). Meanwhile, I've had no problem with plated steel plugs/cups that I've installed. However, some of the core plugs are a real PIA to change, especially the shallow ones used along each cylinder bank - best done when engine is out of car. Is your leaker at the front of the right bank? Gotta run, but hope to see the car real soon.

I was wondering about the shell/louvers being chromed or painted after I posted my reply.
That is one nice looking engine compartment. Not sure if mine will ever look that pretty.

Well Keith, come sit down in my dream and I'll 'splain it to ya. I blocked the exhaust from the intake in 1999 when I had engine rebuilt for Centennial in Warren. The paint still looks fine and I don't think I've ever driven it on a day below 50 degrees. Some nights coming home, maybe - but I've never had a problem. Drove out to Detroit in cool weather at night - made it in 4 1/2 hours. The intake still looks nice. I never had any problem at the head ports. I have some other dreams that you may enjoy more

Randy. I doubt that the brass will hold up to the exh heat. U Need STAINLESS steel. Also, if u block off the exh. passages u'll have a lot of trouble getting the engine to run right at temps below 50 degrees.
SO, if u keep the manifold from burning the paint then how will u keep the head ports that mate at the Exh manifold from burning the paint there??? I think u're dreaming the impossible dream.

Packin 31: The picture of the car in question is a 1933 Packard V12 Convertible Coupe. I think the chrome louvers
add soom real class tp the grills. Pushbutton: Here is picture of the engine compartment to confirm that it is in-deed a Pacakrd V12 Senior model.

Further to Mr. Pushbutton's comments on the ginger root tabs, you need not go to a Cadillac dealer. Any GM dealer and almost any decent part store can get them for you, they are AC/Delco Part # 10-108 for a packet of 5 tabs, enough for a 32 quart cooling system according to the instructions. Ingredients are ginger root, almond shell, sodium carbonate, and a glycol-derivative organic. They've worked well for me on the only occasion I used them.
