Yeah I seen they listed 1952-56 Packard. That is what I was wondering what the difference might be between 1952 and 1951 cars?

Does anyone sell repro gas tanks for 1951 Packard 200 series cars?
Thanks John

No Packard this time, maybe another time.....

Thanks for the info on these fine cars. John

That is what I wondered if it had a bad vacuum cylinder, whether it could be repaired or not. The diaphragms would harden with age.
Hudson had something along this line also. A vacuum operated clutch and also Drivemaster which shifted the transmission between 2nd and 3rd automatically.
Was this offered on all models of Packard or just the senior models?

John

Just out of curiosity, anyone here have a Packard with the Electromatic clutch on it that still works?
From what I've read they seemed somewhat trouble prone. And with 50-60 years gone by probably more touchy to make work.
Just when did they start offering this option?

John

I figured when I originally looked at the specs on the 245 engine, was that they were sacrificing horsepower for low end torque. But it really doesn't make much of that either, something like 195 lb/ft @ 2000 rpm. I don't know what the torque curve looks like, maybe it is fairly flat over a range of rpm?

John

Thanks Scott, the type of input I was looking for. I figured since it didn't have a title might be a sticking point on it too....

John

I've wondered the same things.... John

The light doesn't have a mercury switch built into it does it??
John

Must be a "loaded" question? I guess not knowing how the car has been treated in its 69,000 miles....
