The 39 Coupe in West Covina looks like a very decent car. I think I see a overdrive lockout button under the dash, so that would be a definite plus. That paint is really red! Packard offered a red in 38 but not in 39. Closest they had in 39 was two choices of maroon.

The 54 convertible from Alabama has a front clip that doesn't match the rest of the car. Wonder if it was in an accident at some point. It doesn't appear to have a windshield. They don't say whether all the trim is included.
Price is high considering that everything on this car needs to be redone.

To flush the system, put all the windows down. Put new fluid in the reservoir and disconnect the return line (hydraulic hose toward engine) Run the system one component after another. Collect the fluid from the return line and discard. The windows don't need to be run up completely. The top needs to go through a full cycle up and down. Check the fluid level during these operations and refill as needed.
I use a regular hydraulic fluid in mine, but ATF is good too.

Attached is a picture of the hydraulic pump unit. The bottom silver can is the fluid reservoir. Remove it to check the level.
If your pump is not working, the Hydro-electric company is still in business and can rebuild them. Attach file: ![]() ![]()

Oil bath cleaners seem like they are free flowing but in order to work properly, they first restrict the air flow to increase it's velocity. Then the fast moving airflow is forced into a 180 degree turn. The dirt particles in the air are heavier and their momentum carries them straight into the oil where they are trapped. The air then passes through a coarse and not very effective filter medium and goes into the carburetor. The weakness of oil bath filters is in filtering out fine material.
While the paper filter impedes air flow to some degree, the path followed by the air is straighter and less restricted and the paper filter is a much better filter. The result is less dirt and engine wear. Attach file: ![]() ![]()

Are you asking if Tucson Packard is a reputable dealer?
The answer is a definite yes.

Your air filter housing should look like the one pictured.
Note that I have replaced the oil bath with a modern paper filter. The pictured air filter element is a perfect fit from O'Reiley.

Your fuel mileage is fabulous for one of these cars!
Every time I rebuild a carburetor, I think "Why did it take me so long to do this?". They just run so much better, even when nothing is obviously wrong.
