Please let me know where I could possibly find a 34'-12 'Left' embossed,original glass headlight lens.Also, I am looking for a dash mounted 34'-12 original factory radio, restored.
Thank you,

G'day Allen,
to PackardInfo and hope you find what you're looking for. As a new member, and from your query, I'd like to invite you to add your '34 12 to the Owner Registry together with a pic, any known history and how you acquired it.

Boy, you really want to find the near-impossible, don't you. Hope you've got the patience of a saint. And note the radio is not dash-mounted; just the control head is dash-mounted, the balance is firewall mounted. Everybody with a 34 of any model wants a radio, be prepared to sell a body organ for one. I don't believe the V headlight lens has been reproduced in plastic yet, and if not you're also going to have one helluva time finding one. As I recall right and left are different.

Best bests other than Hemmings, regional and national Packard meets, flea markets and eBay are people who have already completed their restoration of a 34 Twelve and have parts left over. I'd suggest going thru the PAC roster and calling every owner of a 34 Twelve.

check these on ebay, i saw them the other day. i think they might work for you.

if the web string does not work, I put in the search at ebay, packard lens
might have a radio after we finish our restoration, i think we have two, but until i get the dash assembled and try them out, will post it on. probably wont be till this summer sometime.
good luck

Craig,

The eBay lens probably won't fit a '34 12. The listing describes it as being for "1935 PACKARD 120 AND 1937 PACKARD 115C AND 120C ONE LENS RIGHT SIDE FLEXBEAM #14926" so unlikely to fit.

I believe that Bruce Blevins in Michigan has reproduced these. I could be mistaken though. Also try Don Axlerod.

I saw a set on eBay within the last 2 days. I also believe they were reproduced in plastic some years ago, try Max Merritt who I believe was involved in this.
