Hi All,
Sorry to bug everyone, Im new and still learning about these cars. I have seen photos of the pedals in chrome with packard coat of arms in them, does anyone know where i could get these from? Also I am going to need a few bits n bobs to get my old girl running. Can anyone help with some info on the following? (I've tried looking for todays substitutes but I am not having much luck) Battery - 6volt or 12 volt Oil - how many liters does the engine take (374 V8) and which is the better type for an old girl? Filters - Oil/fuel, stock standard or is there specific ones required Do you find that you have to get items custom made to fit or are parts readily available? Thanks brain trust

As you can see from the photo, both of mine are located on the doors. But in saying that, the schematics do not show any side mirrors???

The '56 Patrician is Left Hand drive and currently has a round mirror on the left and a square mirror on the right.
Even though i will be driving it in Australia, it would be nice to have a matching set of mirrors.

WOW,
Thanks for that information. I knew I could count on the brain trust!!! So my luck to pretty up the interior is a no go :( oh well. I am super excited to get her and clean her up and get her running again.

So this one is in a '55 parckard 400, but absent from the '56 patrician, this is why i was unsure if it was an extra or if it was standard but only in certain models

Hi All,
I was wondering if the brain trust could help me? I really like the chrome strips that run in the interior on the roof. Was this an added extra or did some models come out with it and others not? What is the actual name of them and if I wanted to add them (if it is something that the car was an extra) where do i get them and is there a special way to fit them? TYI

Hi All,
An update on the Packards I was looking at. I am in the process of purchasing the 1956 Parckard Patrician and getting it shipped to Australia. So a christmas present for me. Hopefully it will be here by the end of Feb!!! https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/registry/index.php?Action=view&ID=3775
