Craig’s car has the fuel filler protector trim; the one for sale does not.

I have since had some experience in this very question by total co-incidence. Take out the ignition switch and take it to a locksmith. They can easily remove the lock from it, then have them make the key to the code that is stamped on the side of the lock. The code may not be readily visible and on mine it took thorough cleaning, then light filing with a points file to make it readable but once I was able to read it, they made the key in under five minutes!

That plate is for a 1941 Henney-Packard commercial (professional/procar) vehicle, such as hearse, ambulance, service car or flower car. It is not appropriate for a passenger car. Incidentally, I have one just like it but, of course, with a different serial number.

To clarify, the 1901 is 1941 120 and the A is for the 1901A professional chassis. Although 120 which has the small junior 282 straight-8 engine, the coaches had 160 trim so are often mistaken as senior models.

Looks good from all angles! You can actually remove the duplicate and insert the proper photo into the original post if you wanted. Just select Edit, then select the image you want to upload while at the same time checking the box of the one you want to delete. When saving the changes, it will have been replaced.

It's looking great and from what I remember of my auto body classes that I tool years ago, you are doing it correctly. Of course, Packard used specific primer colors for different finish colors but maybe that was more important with the older types of paint than it is today.

Although the car is long sold, I have always wondered what Packard called its beautiful original color but I don't see it on the paint chips. It was a very bright nonmetallic almost plastic-looking blue. Anyone know its name?

This car also had an original two-tone interior with all the seats and rear armrests being dark blue and the window moldings in the back also being blue. When I stripped them, there was no sign that they had ever been wood grained, yet the fronts and dash were wood grained. I still have the original seat upholstery which has the Packard name stamped on the underside.

As a little history, I bought this car, which had been repainted bright yellow, as a parts car in the late '60s or early '70s for the 1939 Six that I was working on at the time but the 1940 proved to be in far better condition so I sold the 1939 and kept the 1940 until about fifteen years ago. The 1939 also came with a 1940 parts car located in another part of the state (Washington) and shortly after I was given another 1940 parts car and bought a 1941 Henney-Packard so by the time I was 17 years old I had five Packards! At that time, none were even considered to be antiques yet.

I’m going to my shop for the first couple weeks in December and hope to get the last two sections of insulation done. The first will be done the day after I get there, then everything moved (including many engines, Packard and otherwise) from the last section and it will be done two days before I leave.

In the meantime as far as car work is concerned, I need to remove the power antenna from the Patrician as it is stuck partially up and is hitting the car lift above. I have a custom tool that I made back on my machinist days for the nut, which works better and does not damage the chrome nut than s spanner. Problem is, I can’t find it so I want to order a standard spanner and have it waiting when I get there so any idea what the side hole diameter is? I seem to recall 1/8” but want to be sure.

Or shouting? No need for all-caps! You also don't need to post it over and over in each thread.

Anyway, hacking is a big problem particularly in private networks such as AOL. Stand-alone email servers can be hacked too but not nearly as easily.

However, it is not typically an issue of your mail having been hacked but rather that it has been spoofed which is very easy to do. Most email clients (software where you check and read mail) can change the sender's address to anything at all so likely someone you know who has your address in their Contacts had their PC hacked and the address was taken from there or else it was posted somewhere where it was harvested and sold.

That sounds close to my original guess too and it close enough for the purpose. No water pump but it does have the complete valve train including chain. Thank you!

Probably just make sure there is a full tank of gasoline (you may need to bite the bullet and get the new cap so that there is no leakage) to prevent any condensation and keep a trickle charger battery maintainer on the battery.

I use a 12v roof-mounted solar panel at my shop that connects to all my cars through charge controllers (one is custom for 6v) and so far it has worked when before two nearly new group 27 12v batteries were ruined by the bitter cold there.
