I too have delt with a great vendor. A while back I was having some carburator problems with my 37 120. I was going through Hemmings looking for someone selling carbs. and came accross an ad by John Ulrich out in California. I called him and asked about parts, he said he had them, I asked if he'd take my credit card over the phone, he said he doesn't do credit cards but would send out the parts with a bill. I was amazed !!! He didn't know me and I didn't know him. But I'll sure do business with him again and tell everyone I know about my experience. And to top things off.........his prices were very fair.

What a great experience to be able to see so many different Packards in one place. How great it is for you that you live in an area that has that many Packards in one area. Where I live In Georgia,I can count on one hand the Packards in this area. Wonderful video !!!

Since I'm having a little problem with my 37 120, I was just wondering how common vapor lock was back in the 30's, 40's and 50's. Has it always been a problem? Was this just part of everyday motoring. Is there a sure fire way to correct this problem or is it one of those problems that just come with the pleasure of owning an older car???

Thanks for all the great advise. I will take this list and try to work things out. I did notice that I do not have a heat shield. Was this standard equipment, or were these aftermarket?

OK everyone,I was coming home from a car show last Sat. and all of a sudden my car, (a 1937 120) started to hesitate every now in then as if it was starving for gas. It was hot and over 95 degrees but I really hadn't been stopped for any lenght of time so the car really wasn't over heated. My question is......How do you tell if it is a carb. problem, a fuel pump problem, or just a fuel filter problem?? I went looking for the fuel filter, and see it's in a pretty tight place. Are these easy to change out, as I think I would want to start there first. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the help on the Slogan of "Ask the man... Anyone else out there have anything to add to this?

Hello everyone, I need a little help here. I'm trying to find the story behind the slogan "Ask the man who owns one". I spent some time on the internet last night trying to find the story to no avail. Can someone relate the story to me or point me in the right direction? I believe James Ward Packard was behind it, but how it came about I'm not sure. Thanks

Thanks for the Welcome, and the information on the Goddess of Speed. Hard to think it can cost $650 for a reproduction hood ornament, but when the supply is short, and the demand is high...... I'd still like to see if anyone has any Packard clip art out there. Thanks

Greetings everyone. I joined this site at the end of January of this year and have been amazed at the knowledge that is shared here. Up until now, I have only been a looker on the side lines, but I now have a couple of questions I'd like to ask. First off, I'm puting together a display showboard for my 37 120, and I'd like to include the Packard logo, and maybe a picture of a dealer sign. Does anyone know where I can find decent pictures that I can download and then upload to powerpoint to design my board? I am also looking for the Goddess of speed ornament. I've looked on ebay for over a year with no luck. I'm sure there are reproductions out there, I've heard they run about $550, but it seems to be a secret. Kanter did not have it, and neither did Max Merritt (sp). Any help would be appreciated.
