Didn't see 51 Packard - but asked them if they could make.

Prices were great.

I had "temporary disable" on notifications in my profile - don't know how that happened - probably me....

Thanks everyone - looks like Kanter is the best practical way to go.

I had "notify me of new replies" in my post- but never got any emails - not sure what happened...

Have a great day !

I have a 1951 Packard 4 door. (can remember what model - will look up later).

Any recommendations please on where to buy a headliner ?

Thanks !!!

Thanks for everyone's comments !

51 Packard with 6 volt positive ground.

Is it possible to make/buy a device that converts 12 volts to 6 volts to use with jumper cables to jump start my Packard from a "regular" 12 volt negative ground car ?

Thanks !

Packard has been in my neighbor's garage with her car outside. I think she's going to want her garage back over winter. Wife will divorce me if I get one of those aluminum carport things. Can't afford to rent a garage.

Someone suggested this: put a "tan flannel" cover over car and then put a waterproof & vented cover over flannel.

The idea is the outer cover will protect elements, and the flannel interim cover will protect paint from "cover abrasions".

Thanks for all the help !

Looking for tips / guidance on storing my Packard outdoors all winter (I live in Delaware). Long story, but I am "garage challenged".

If I use an outdoor cover, will the paint get abraded as the cover moves with the wind ? Do I want the cover really tight ? Loose ? Vented ? This would be on gravel/grass.

Is there any system to use talc or something to create slip between cover and paint ?

Maybe this is nuts, anyone ever shrink-wrap a car (like they do boats) ? I'm investigating a bunch of storage possibilities - some have a carport roof.

The car's a driver - but I'd hate to mar / damage over winter.

Appreciate any thoughts or weblinks - thanks !!!

I think I have this same "charger" (MC-1). Sounds like it is a tender and charger.

I use $8 tenders from Harbor Freight for my 12 volt batteries (harbor freight charger) They work great for tractor, Tbird, boat, and Harley that I have.

I switched the battery cables to positive ground and polarized the generator. WORKS !!!!

I have a 6v trickle/float charger - would like to connect to battery when car is sitting.

Question: Can I connect this charger to battery with battery in car ? I think answer is "yes".

I don't know if the charger is expecting or requiring the attached battery to be negative ground or not.

Thanks for your help !
