I spoke with the vendor through the contact number on ebay. He specializes in Mopar parts and reproduces gas tanks for all models from Chrysler.
He told me that a client came in with two gas tanks to duplicate and paid a boatload of money to get them reproduced. One for a 1937 Packard and the other for a 1950. Since he had the molds for reproduction, he's decided to produce a few more. Thanks for the leads. My car, somewhere in its seventy-five years on the road, backed up onto a rock and there's a huge dent at the bottom side of the tank. Still holds gas, but is causing suction problems when the gas falls below a quarter full.

I own a 1947 Packard Custom Super Clipper that needs a new fuel tank. I spotted a reproduction 1948 through 1950 Packard fuel tank available on E-Bay. 1948 1949 1950 Packard Gas Tank
Can the members tell me if this tank can interchange with my 1947 tank? Thanks! Dave Attach file:  47 Packard.JPG (35.74 KB)

My 1947 Packard Custom Super Clipper's battery gave up the ghost and I found two excellent sources for a replacement.
For those of you who want a period-correct replacement, The Battery Central Mall carries an entire line of Willard batteries that fit Packard models from 1921 through 1958. You can have the Packard script on the side of the battery for an upcharge. But they are expensive. A link to the website is attached: batterycentralmall.com/Batteries/TurboStart/Packard.html A less expensive alternative is to go to Remy Batteries in Milwaukee. They build industrial batteries and their 2E-1, designed for tractors, is an exact duplicate in size, voltage, and amp for the original battery in my 1947 Custom. Here is a link to that battery and about a hundred dollars less than the period-correct batteries. Either way, you should be covered! remybattery.com/group-size-2e-battery.html

I own a 1947 Packard Custom Super Clipper in need of a gas tank. Does anyone have a parts car with a good unit that could be sold? Or do you know of any vendors that might have one available?
I live in San Rafael, California. Attached photo is from a 1946 restoration I found online and the type I'm looking for. Dave dbsiewe@comcast.net Attach file: (21.99 KB)
