I finally got the car finished and have sure been enjoying it till it got so dang hot here in Oklahoma. The car drives great at slower speed but it has tire shake around 60 m.p.h. there are no weights on the tires. I went to have them balanced and the tire guy asked me if the car had been setting for a long time, I told him it had. He said his machine showed that one of the tires needed as much as 11 ounces on it. By the way the tires are Firestone bias belted. He said to drive it a while and he would try again, not sure what driving would have to do with the balance on the tires.

I am thinking about putting new radials on it, my question is what is the correct size of tires would be the best fit for my sedan, I have one company say 215 75r 15 and another say 235 75r 15. Checking here to see what the experts here tell me.

I will try and get some new pictures posted soon. Waiting to hear from you guys on sizes and where the best place to buy.

Best Regards,
Dave

Thanks so much, I saw the mirrors on the 48 accessory page. Just what I need.

Were there ever any outside mirrors used on a 1949 series 22 4 door sedan?

My car only has the inside rear view mirror would like to be able to see down the sides of the car while driving.

Pictures would be a help.


Thanks,
Dave

Quick question: On my generator I have two posts and a ground screw connection. One of the post has a larger diameter thread than the other What I need to know is which one is the armature and which is field. My system in not charging and going to do some trouble shooting to see where the problem lies.

Thanks for any and all help.

Is there anyway to find other members in our area? Are members listed by state?

I am looking for a member that used the name Packard 1.
He used to make the door sills for the 49 Packards and I am needing one passenger side front.

Got them off the right side, on the top of the door the clips had 2 tabs that had to be bent straight then came right off, the door trim was all clips which were easy to remove. Thanks so much for the help.

Guys,
What is the best way to remove the stainless trim on my 1949 series 22. Is there a special tool used or do you remove door panels and then nuts from the clips?

Pictures would be helpful. getting ready to start the paint process and it would sure be easy if the stainless trim was removed.

Thanks for any and all help.
