Ouch! Sorry to hear that. Hopefully, insurance will make it all right.

Indeed, drain all the engine fluids ASAP and replace them. Pull the seats and carpets out and get some fans, and whatnot going to start drying everything out.

At least that is a freshwater lake/reservoir.

I was able to see the photos. It happened in Canyon Lake, CA, in Riverside County.

That was not too far away from where I used to live in Calif. I believe something similar happened a few years ago at the Amelia Island show with another Packard.

Just to close the circle on this for future reference, here is what the Metro '37 120 running board covers look like. A separate piece also goes at the rear up against the fender (not pictured). These still have the white mold release on them, but note the hollow reliefs on the underside in the second picture. This important feature is what is missing from the Steele ones.

I have a set of new Metro 37 120 running board mats sitting here, so I can send you pics if you want to see what they look like.

They also make 115-C ones as well. I have those ordered, but they are backordered until July. Once I get those, then I'll sell the 120 ones off. But keeping ahold of these as a backup in the event they can't deliver the 115-C ones. Generally folks had to cut the down the 120 ones to fit the 115 boards.

They show available on Amazon:

If my local Napa doesn't have it in the store, they usually can get it same day or the next morning. Obviously being near Chicago they have access to a large regional warehouse.

Thanks, that is helpful!

Which carb do you have? There should be a number on the little brass triangle tag on the carb.
