The access panel is no help. at least not for me. fluid just wont go down, takes forever.And not worth the effort. just use the one on the underside.I did not try adding fluid while the motor was running.my fluid always seems to be low.when to check level is not so clear either. Brian

Have you checked PAC Or Packards International to see who they list in their Club references?

Here Is a tale told to me by the guy I bought my car from.Someone arranged to have a buddy come by after hours to pick up some filing cabinets.this was at EGB.Unfortunately the guy went out and got drunk and never made the files "Pick up". The next day all the stuff went to the city dump.

Hi, "Reasonable" may be a poor choice of words.The job should be done right.Sometimes that means $$$.I am sure some of the guys here can direct you to a place that can help. Brian

Ok Owen, I can buy that bit on the pods, I have however never seen them on a car it has not supposed to be on.Either way that car is not a Mayfair.It has the 200 style rear window.The Mayfair had the three piece rear window.Its a 200 deluxe. Gotta be.I would bet It has pods as well.A side view would confirm the wheel base too. Brian

If it has the 3 jet pods on the side it is a 1952 200 deluxe. If no pods then the grill has been changed.Owen you are right on the 250. Brian

I have to chime in here on this.My 51 is running by the time the engine makes three revolutions.If it does not there is something wrong.Yes if the car has not been run for a week or so it will need cranking.But when warm rarely goes around once.If cold the three revolutions previously mentioned.Maybe two.
