22nd series bumpers

Hello. I am looking for new bumpers and grill pieces for my 1948 22nd series super eight. If anyone knows where I might be able to find a set it would be much appreciated. Also, are the bumpers/grill from a 23rd series car the same?
What is a good buying price for something like this?

Thank you for finding that for me HPH, I just bought that! Also thank you to DavidPackard, I will definitely go and doublecheck those things that you mentioned. I would try and make one of the tools myself however I don't have the correct resources to make one that would give me satisfactory results. I will come back with the results after I get these adjustments done.

Thanks -David

That would be great if you could check for me! The reason I am so concerned about this adjustment is I am pretty sure it is adjusted too low and causing my engine to stall out right after it starts

Cater carburetor tools/metering rod adjustment

Hello. I am trying to get my carburetor dialed in after a rebuild. (Carter WD-0 model 643SA)
There are lots of Carter specific tools listed in the manual. I have been able to substitute many for other common tools, however there are a few I still need. Specifically the metering rod gauges (tool number T109-113) Does anyone have any ideas of things I can substitute for this? Or another way to get my metering rods just right? Are there any other tools like thisI won’t be able to substitute for common tools I already have? Does anybody by chance have a set of Carter tools I can buy off of them?

Appreciate the help, -David

Nice! I remember finding that clock tag in my car however it was too chewed up to read much.

While looking at a Packard earlier this week I looked in the glove box and found this dealer tag in remarkable condition for something most people would throw away. Thought it was interesting and figured I would share.

Not sure on the condition you would be looking at getting but if you are looking to get a different car there is a 23rd series Packard for sale in Salt Lake City, Utah. The guy told me he would sell it for 4,000.
The link for the listing is here.

Vinyl is just wrong in most cars prior to about 1950. It was widely used in cars from about 1953 onward. Cars of the 50's literally reeked of vinyl. It's a serviceable material and will do no harm in older cars, but it can affect the value if the car is sold. An exception might be a pickup truck of the '30s and 40s. I'd be happy to buy a 30's Packard coupe with a vinyl interior, but I'd want to pay less for it than for a comparable car with the correct type interior. The coupe has a radio, which is a substantial plus.

Ok that is pretty much what I thought, thanks for the explanation!
