...does anyone know where is the right place for the Data Plate on my 1924 Serie 1? I?m working right now on the Body and I?ll clos all holes which are not on the right place into the firewall. Was the Data Plate realy up in the right corner on the driverside.?? All other Cras hve it more in the middle and lower.

Carl,
The data plate is located on the inside of the car not the engine side, see photo with apologies for the poor quality.
There is a wooden panel on the inside of the firewall and the plate is screwed on the LHS to that panel, let me know if you need locating dimensions.
Mine is a 126 Sport and yours is a 136 Sport and as you know the bodies are identical for these two models so yours should be the same except that mine is right hand drive and yours is left hand drive so I expect the plate on yours will be on the opposite side

David, thanks a lot. Today I found a picture of a 1924 Packard Viktoria. There was also a picture which confirmed your information about the Data Plate. The Car is a left hand driver. What means ... the steering is on the "right" side !! . On the picture you can see the steering column and the data plate. It looks like the plate is on the same place as on the right hand driver model. Would be great if you can give me the locating dimensions.
