I would think that gas stations would be glad to give you take-off 15" tires, around here they have to pay to scrap them

A beauty done with attention to original details, red piping on the top to match interior. However the red stripe on the bumper is in correct, should be black.
Happy Packarding.

Manifold gaskets: There are a number of Packard specific parts vendors around the country including Kanter.com who can supply almost all of your Packard needs.

The Packard part # for that wheel is 338700, fits 40-41 senior cars 160/180 and it is 16" X 5" rim width between the flanges.

I agree with Owen's/Packard's recommendation on towing. As I recall we towed at low speeds driving our 9,000 Packard tractor/trailers.

We have been selling filters for 50+ years and many of them are 50+ years old AND we use them on our own cars.. Aged pistons, bearings, head gaskets,seals etc are what many of our customers get when they buy from us and we have never gotten a return for failure on an aged part.
Think of it, your motor oil and gas are millions of years old

Re: What happens if I take the thermostat out?

I do not think that the world of mechanics knows more about engines than the army of engineers who have been designing engines since the 20's. Thermostats are not for passenger comfort,they are primarily for efficient engine operation and long engine life. Cooler engines build up sludge and warmer engines run more efficiently. New cars have 195 degree or hotter thermostats.
Yes, you can take it out and your engine will not disintegrate, but do you have a degree in thermodynamics or engine design?? Are you smarter than the engineers at E.Grand Blvd, Dearborn Ford or Detroit GM, or Mazda, Toyota etc??
