I am looking for the thin trim pieces that go on the edges of the hood vents on a 1939 "6"
Thanks,

I did the steering wheel myself, it wasn't hard and seems to be holding up well. The wheel was in pretty good shape to start with just having some cracks in it. I "V"ground the cracked areas, mixed up some JB Weld and put on, sanded it when dry. Then I epoxy primered the wheel and shot a base coat / clear coat on it, it turned out pretty nice, I also re painted the horn button at the same time.

I got my cloth from Bill Hirsch, he supplied the headliner material and carpet that I decided on. My car originally had a front rubber mat ( I found some remnants) but now it has a very nice Mercedes wool. I had my front seat bottom cushion thinned down to give me more room under the wheel so I had to use foam instead of the springs. I have no plans to inter a Concours show but wanted a nice car, my father purchased it when new. I did my own wood grainning of the dash and windows, a very big project.

I found this picture of my steering link, it mostly just brings back painful memories but maybe it will help you in some way.

On my '39 Six, I had to drill the head of the Bolt off, be very glad you don't have that problem. I suggest pulling the arm off the car and putting in a Hydraulic press, the bushing should come right out, maybe a good presoaking with PB Blaster will also help.

This is Bill Hirsch green and looks pretty good, my '39 Six.

Hello All, A local friend has inherited a nice 1939 120 Coupe, I looked at it and his question was what value is it worth, he must sell it because of health issues. The car was restored a few years ago and has very few miles on it.
The Interior, Blue, is Perfect, very nice woodgraining, Radio, electrical all works, Like new cloth, headliner, carpet all first class. Chassis, suspension, tires are excellent, Chrome is very good. Motor runs perfect and is detailed very well. But, the Lacquer (Black) will need a little attention as there are a few cracks in the paint. This is a stunning 10 footer but the paint will need some work.
I've attached a couple of pictures and he would appreciate some pricing guidelines.

I wanted to just say a quick "Thank You" to several of the Packard parts suppliers that we all sometimes take for granted. I have recently finished (hopefully) my 1939 110 4dr and while admiring it last night I realized how impossible it would have been to have accomplished this without these vendors. Bill Hirsch, Max Merritt, Kanter, John Ulrich and Steele Rubber along with several others, many thanks.

There's just four bolts that hold the upper seat frame to the seat rails, remove them and it comes out easy. Then you will need to remove the seat slides, four more bolts to the floor, and take them apart. The small rollers have needle brgs. that are probably frozen and they will need cleaning and grease. Put it all back together and that seat will glide like a magic carpet.

I had the same stuff under the dash of my "39, it made a huge mess. I ended up using my shop vac and then kept pulling chunks out with the Vac generally keeping the dust out. As I reassembled the car I used Dyna Mat for insulation, much cleaner and very effective.
