Question. Where are the points and condenser located on a 1950 Packard?

My 1950 Packard has started without a problem for the past 8 months. A few days ago I went out to start it and it just wouldn't fire. Could the points be stuck? Where do I start looking for the problem? I would like to try to correct the problem myself. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks, JD

I have a 1950 Packard 4 door sedan that I am restoring. I would like to get some information on how to remove the window trim. I am going to replace the old glass while the trim is off. Tell me if you have actually removed exterior window trim. How difficult is the removal and replacement?

My 1950 Packard needs new glass. Where do I get new glass and what is involved? Can a good body shop install it? What should a complete installation cost?

I have a 1950 Packard sedan. The kick plate at the bottom of the driver side door is in poor condition. I want to replace it with a new one. It is a rubber mat attached to a metal plate with Packard imprinted on it. My question is how do I remove that plate. I want to attach a new one. Are replacement plates available? Anyone. JE

Thank you. The car is a 1950 Packard. Actually, it was built in the Fall of 1949. A renumbered 1950. I traced it back to 2002 but I couldn't go any further back. It would be interesting to trace the ownership back to the first owner and the first dealer but I guess, that part of the alure is what has been lost in the fog of time. Leaves a lot to the imagination. JE

Question: I would like to know where my car was originally sold and who was the first owner. Is there anyway that the serial # could reveal this information? I would like to trace it's history back. JE

Last year I bought 4 new tires from Universal Tire in PA.
They were wide whitewalls with fluted edges. I have a book entitled Packard 1948 to 1950 by Robert J. Neal. It is a great book about Packards of this era. On page 236 of this book it gives information about tire size. Here is what it says; Packard 8 & Deluxe 8 (15 x 7.60). Super 8 & Super Deluxe 8 (15 x 7.60) --- (15 x 8.20 for long wheelbase cars). Custom 8 (15 x 8.20). This is under 23rd. series general specifications. My tires have the Universal name on them and a rep from the company said that they were made by, I believe, Good Year Tire in PA. I have been very happy with my set and I especially like the fluted edges. They look great. Good luck on yours. JE

Question. Where can I get instruction on how to properly adjust the shift linkage on my 1950 Packard?
