I bet this was dealer installed so they might have put it in anywhere in this region

WHERE CAN YOU BUY THIS MATERIAL AT? THANK YOU

by the way all, great forum topic!!! thanks for posting all opinions on this!!!!

also, the Ike administation was NOT very Packard friendly, they had some insiders with deep GM ties...... this was the cause of much loss of defense work, remember what car Ike road in the the 1953 Inaguration, It was not a Caribbean, however a std. convertible followed closley as a camera car

My report Card:
George Christopher D
Hugh Ferry B
James Nance A- (except for Connor Avenue call) with Connor Avenue call: B-, this mistake was the knife in the heart for Packard.....

The 1955 quality problems were the final blow... The 56's were much improved but it was too late

the 51-54's were darn fine cars

the 48's through 50- well engineered but styling issues, however they are so ugly they are NOW beautiful

just my opinions only

what is the proper and/or best spark plug for a 51-54 Packard, maybe ac45 or champion j8 or??? did the 1954 359 engine use the same plug?

also, does anyone know what plug an Edmunds head used for these cars? thnaks!!!!!!!

I would do one of the following:

1) buy a 1954 359 engine and go to a place like Broadway Title who will give you paperwork from Alabama that your state has to accept for application for Title, use the M6xxxxx engine number as number

2) go to a place like Broadway Title and get paperwork on it where 5478-2xxx is the new official VIN number for this vehicle

both of these would be legal

info on this place is at:

I am not affiliated with this Title place in any way

this may cost a few hundred bucks but this is cheap compared to the decline in value of your state riveting a foriegn plate on your call will cause

they want $150.00, it is chrome plated, I will try to post a picture of it

great looking engine!

I just found in an antique mall a 1948 or 1948 Custom 8 convertible promo model by master caster, it is chrome plated die cast, any one know any about these or associated history? thanks!
