Kelch heater, or similar to one?

Looks like there is a electrically driven blower motor on the can surrounding the exhaust manifold.

Plain weave with diagonals, based on metal cloth weave patterns?

This supplier has a weave that looks close.

I've heard of it refereed to as a basket weave.

Caning for chair seats have a similar pattern, with a few extra rows.

This is in response to a PM message requesting pictures showing front seat attachment details.

The wood seat frame has two holes that line up with two tapered pins on the seat frame. These two pins locate the seat frame and lock it in place. The spring shown inside the seat frame provides tension to the seat adjustment mechanism. The mechanism provides front-back adjustment of the seat.

The edge of the adjustment lever can bee seen in the _d picture.

Pictures shown are of an original interior.

Marty,

Ran thru this on my 901.

Battery connected, no switches turned on.

1) Horn is powered, and the interior dome light can be turned on using the switch on the passengers door pillar. Dash light can be turned on using upper pull out switch on the left side of the dash. Brake lights are powered when pedal is depressed. Ignition circuit is powered only when ignition switch is turned on.

2) Steering wheel light switch knob (left one). One CW click turns on on the fender lights and both rear brake running lights. Second CW click turns the headlights on low beam, Third click turns the headlights on high. Fender lights and both rear brake running lights are on when low and high beam headlights are on.

The lower pull out switch on the left side of the dash turns on the instrument lights when pulled out, but only when the running or headlights are on.

3) The interior dome light turns on when a rear door is opened, only when the running or headlights are on.

Hope this helps,

Dave

1958 Packard 58L 2 door hardtop

This is a 3 or 4 owner car depending on how one looks at ownership.

It is a California car for most of it's life and and one of only 670+/- produced.

The first owner bought new in CA and owned it for many years. He sold/donated the car to a museum out there where it sat in their storage area for many years. It's believed to have been repainted in the first owner's possession and the interior was probably done at the same time. After holding it for many years the museum sold off several of the cars in it's storage and the 2nd/3rd owner purchased the car just 5 years ago. He registered the car and drove it quite a bit but then needed to sell, so it was purchased by the current owner. His plan was to have a trifecta of rare 58 Packards and as such he had a wagon (recently sold) a 4 door sedan and this 2 door. They were project cars and he now feels that it will be too much to bring them all back, so the wagon was sold and this 2 door is now being sold.

In 58, Packard and Studebaker were merging and in an effort to save money, many Packards were simply Studebakers with some odd bits tagged on. This car would have been a Studebaker President Starlight, however, to make it a Packard, they added on extra fiberglass wings, metal dual headlight pods, a fiberglass, wider facia, hood and a matching valance. The 4 door sedans and wagons end up looking a bit odd, but the 2 door models pull it off rather well.

The car for sale was repainted from what is belived to be a cream/white color to the two tone burgundy and white and the interior was reupholstered in Infant BM Brown.

The Studebaker 289 V8 puts out 210 HP however, due to the lighter weight of the Packard, it's performance was better than the same Studebaker. The car has 91K miles on her.

She starts right up and runs and drives great. This one has a two speed automatic transmission and power steering. Everything else is manual.

The interior is in very good shape, albeit a little funky on the color choice. The burgundy paint hasn't held up too well and has several areas of flaking paint. Despite the peeling paint the body and frame are very solid with no rot through on any panels.

Even looking like she does, if you roll up to any cruise night or car show, you may not win any awards but you'll have one of the biggest crowds around you.

Awesome entrance into the collector car world with a very rare but not very expensive automobile. The new Hankook tires look pretty good on her with the white walls showing and the radial provides better handling and road feel, grip.

Asking price is only $10,500

Any questions, for many more photos and video, to schedule a test drive or to make an offer, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thank you for the interest.

1958 Packard Wagon

Although rather rough around the edges, this 1958 Packard Wagon is one of approximately 149 produced. Built in a time when Packard and Studebaker were merging, these Packards unfortunately, were little more than Studebakers with some extra body bits tacked on.. On this particular car, the additional fins and quad headlights are obvious add-ons. The hood, front facia and fins are fiberglass, the headlight pods are metal.

The known history of this car is that it was owned for many years (well over 25 from what I've been able to research) by famed/infamous Studebaker collector/hoarder Ron Hackenburger. She spent most of her time crammed into one of several old farm buildings where Ron had most of his collection stored. It was auctioned off by the Van der Brink family back in 2017 as part of a 600+ vehicle collection, many (most) of the cars in sorry shape similar to this one. It was purchased by a dealer out of Indiana and then the current owner purchased it in early 2018.

This wagon was considered a luxury wagon, similar to what a Cadillac Escalade would be today. It has a 289 Studebaker V8 w/4 bbl carb. that pushes about 225 HP through an 3 speed Flight-O-Matic automatic transmission. This car has AC, a seat heater, Power steering and power brakes. It DOES currently run and "drive", although it wouldn't be suggested to even take her down the street for coffee, she's in need of an exhaust and the brakes will stop her if she's creeping along in the driveway but may not do so well from even 20-30 mph. It does come with all new flat glass and replacement tail light lenses.

As can be seen, the car has some rust issues but isn't rotted out and the interior looks like a few raccoons had one hell of a party. The floors and frame are actually very solid, the doors are where most of the bad rust is. The current owner admits to having eyes bigger than his wrenches buying it with the idea of restoring her, and setting her next to his 58 Packard 2 door coupe and 58 Packard 4 door sedan, but with multiple other cars that have needs, and several months going by and the car not really moving, he feels he won't be able to give this one the love she needs.

Asking price is $7000 obo.

Any questions, for MANY more photos and video, to schedule a time to see her in person or to make an offer, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thank you for the interest.
