Well it's time I updated my blog. It's been 5 years since I last posted. Don B has a companion 1937 1090 138CD Limo. There might be a little confusion with us having the same model car and same first name. We have met and have used the same mechanic in Maize Kansas before. Here is what I have done in the last 5 years to the car.

Engine and frame was restored after the guy said the frame was unmolested. When I got the car from Seattle it had a 454 chevy engine and a front subframe swap. I self-donated a 1937 1092 car engine and frame to take it back to original. My mechanic in Maize converted the stock 3 speed trans to a 1954 Packard overdrive. converting that trans to a cane shift from a column shift.

Car has been painted. My Painters horror story was told it would be done in 6 weeks. Took the guy 3 years, 2 months, and 2 weeks. During covid and towards the end it was a rush job.

New parts purchased:

1. New Julians soft top kit (has since discontinued supplying these)
2. Bought6 reproduction Hub caps and 6 trim rings
3. All new door and window rubber (except the rear quarter window rubber which is not available.
4. Had the grille shutter thermostat rebuilt in Ohio
5. Wood Re wood grained the dash and window frames
6. All 4 wheels brakes redone
7. All new wiring harnesses installed

What's left?

The interior will be done by a man in Iuka Mississippi He has done an interior for my 1968 Ford F100 Ranger and is completing an interior for my 1967 Rebel convertible currently.

Here is a Banner from the Packard Proving Grounds that was made through my hobby shop. It measures 4 feet by 4 feet. By using heavy billboard material that is .015 thick edges 1" overlap. I think it came out good.

Wow, what a coincidence. Just today I sent the parts to a gentleman to change his 115C clock in his 120 to a 120 clock. He is not on here and is a Newby to Packard's. He is coming down from Long Island within a week to purchase the welled fenders from a 1094 CD Touring Coupe. I will have him bring the 115 parts and I will post them on here.

When I purchased a 1937 115C the late 70's gentleman said his father parted out a 1934 Packard maybe 50 years ago. Are these parts in fact from a 1934? If so they are out of my forte. Is there any interest in these parts? Don Koller 256-558-8986

I put a 1954 Overdrive transmission into a 1937 138CD put where the tranny is not in a different location. I also used the cane shifter with slight modification. So by appearance it looks original. The 54 tranny is a different model Trans but I would think it would work.

Could you show or list the CD parts that are included. Thanks

1941-1947 Group 30.0075 (Handle-Front Seatback Ash Receiver Part# 3763161 Applications 20th 1582-1592) Also included 4 door Crank Handle plastics These parts came from Max Merritt.

The next 2 items are Spare Tire Clamps I believe the longer clamp is for 1935 thru
1937 120's and the shorter by 1/2" inch clamp and also, it's corresponding bolt would
be for 1937 115's as it wheels are 1/2" narrower. This is my opinion. The shorter of
the two came off of a 115 I recently parted out.
