I recently disassembled the Fuelizer on my 1925 Touring Packard for a rebuild. Everything works well except I am in need of a new gasket set and would like to replace the two hexagonal screw caps under the Fuelizer. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Lionel

Thanks Owen!

I will appreciate information regarding the oil replacement for my 1925 eight-cylinder Packard. Someone told me to use any 20/50w oil but that doesn't sound correct as newer engine oils could cause more harm than good on these old cars.

I appreciate the advice in advance.

Hi,



Second try, since it looks like my first attempt to post did not work. I am trying to connect a set of Pilot Ray Driving lights on 1925 243 Series Packard and would need some help figuring out how are these connected to the swivel linkage attachment that goes to the car steering mechanism. Can someone assists with photos on how these attached to the steering mechanism? All help will be greatly appreciated.

I am selling a reproduction side mount kit for a 1936 -1937 Packard 120 series car. I purchased the kit a couple of years ago from Sam Bronstein in Vancouver CA. I want to sell them for my cost. buyer will save on the cost of shipping from Canada to the US which it was not cheap

For additional details please feel free to reach me via email at lionel.velez@gmail.com

Since I recently became the proud owner of not one, or two BUT, three Packards I have been fortunate enough to have run into a bunch of really nice and fabulous people.

Last Wednesday, I packed my SUV with friends and headed up to Chickasha, Ok for the the pre-war SWAP Meet. We left Dallas about 6:00am and met with some friends along the way for the drive to Chickasha. On the way I got a speeding ticket on an obvious speed trap; were the cop gave me a "discount". Once he arrived at Chickasha we headed up to the Fair ground to see if we can find some good stuff for our Packards and Studebakers. On the first day, before the Swap meet got started my friend Luigi was able to find fog lamps, points, and some condensers for his cars while I on the other hand was not lucky at all.

On that night, we headed out to Oklahoma City and stopped at two pre-war private collections and I must say that it was a real treat. The visit to both places were indeed worth the trip alone.

First official SWAP meet opening day, I arrived around 9:00 am and walked around the fair ground to find nothing more than a sea of lanes of rusty Ford Model A and Model T cars and parts. There was really not much else there other than Ford anywhere you turn your eyes.

Although, my experience was great it will be my first and last time I have no plans to go back to Chickasha. I will instead focus on finding what I need for my Packards on more reliable networks and known Packard sources.

The moral of the story, IF you are a Ford Model A and Model T guy, this will be a great experience for you. But, if you are after the more rare and higher end car, try else where.

Yes, I will post photos and register the car here. Yes, I will be creating a Blog regarding the vehicle's preparation and off course, the entire adventure. As of now, we are still waiting for the admission package to arrive. Is the carrier for a buck a mile for a closed transport most likely will be my option. I shipped a non running Alfa Romeo from Dallas to Seattle last year for $850 on an open transport. I am currently working on the list of needs and side mounts are on the very top of the agenda.

I just purchased a 1937 Packard and it will be on its way to Dallas, Texas soon. Making transportation arrangements. Anyone have a recomendation for a good transporter? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. The next step is locating the side mount hardware and Flackmaster is helping me with that.

Hello Steve,

This site is already getting the boost!!! Lots of good information and very helpful folks ready to provide good feedback. I got a lead to a 1938 8 cyl with side mounts lets see how it turns out.

I was searching through the owners list here and see that there is 1934 in McKinney,TX with side mounts as well. Wonder if he would consider selling the car for a good Worldly adventure!

Thanks,

Lionel

Dallas, TX

That being the case, would an earlier 6 cyl car would work? Or, possibly I could build a spare tire bracket for the trunk in order to carry the spare tires.

Thanks,

Lionel
