well no i donthave the firewall plate unfortunatly but i am going to have a good look through the bush while i'm up there next weekend cause with the car missing that many parts i cant inmagine somebody taking it very far. I imagine the rest of it is in the bush somewhere. The deluxe eight is a pretty high end car is it not? did they make them in a hardtop? all that I can find from 29 are soft tops. It seems to be a pretty impressive old car though thats for sure. I would imagine it would be one of the top models from that year?

i know there's another number stamped in the mounting arm at the fron of the crankcase. The number i put on here and that is in the pic is at the back near the flywheel/tranny end of the case. Which one is the actual engine number?

yes that was the conclusion i drew as well. I also still have the old lubricator. Bijui? or some random name like that. seems to be in half decent shape actually. The number i got was fron the top of the block right where the cylinders mate to the crankcase. I'm not sure if thats the engine number or whether its on the mounting arm of the crankcase?

But that would mean the block number doesnt fit into any kind of category that you listed for 1930?

how did tou come to the conclusion of the model based on the casting number? i couldnt find anything that actually told me anything about the numbers so i'm very interested to have some more info as to how you read that information. the casting number is p7098 170107 and the date reads 12-31-29am. Thanks foryour help

hey, thanks alot at least SOMEBODY got back to me! lol. Well it looks like everything that i have is in need of a very serious rebuild as i cant really picture alot of it being useable again. however the biggest thing for me is the location where i found these parts. They were up at my cottage in dorset ontario canada about 5 hours north of toronto and in the middle of a bush an hour away from anybody else. My cottage was originally owned by a car parts manufacturer company from windsor so the only way that I can picture the parts getting up there was somebody actually physically DROVE the car from windsor, about a 7 hour trip today, and then something went wrong so they parted it out and took the train back to windsor. All the parts have been up there for the entire time any of my family remembers which easily dates back to the early 50's. I just wanted to get a better idea of the car that would have made this rediculous trip and just gather some infor behind it just because its a neet story. Nobody that lived in the area at that time would have ever owned a car like that. Its like somebody in farm county having parts for a lamborghini in their shed. lol. thanks alot for your help and i hope you enjoy that little story!

I just came across all these old packard parts at my cottage, i was hoping somebody could help me identify the model of the car that it came from and whether or not they would be worth hanging on to. so far I appear to have a grill, headlight bar, driveshaft,chasis lubricator, crank, crankcase, cylinder block with valves, pedal arms, various linkages, intake/exhaust mainifold, fan with water pump, two window rollers, steeringwheel with colomn, tailight, clutch, cam gear, harmonic balancer, gearshift and the floorpeice where the steering colomn and pedals come up through the floor. Most of it is in rough shape but there's a few things that maybe somebody would be interested in?? I'm going to say that the car was a 1930 roadster of some kind? maybe somebody knows better than me though. Thanks!
