Im still looking for this Original Headlight Lenses from BAUSCH & LOMB for my 1924 Phaeton. It is the last important part which is not original on my car. I dont know the correct messurement what B&L printed on the lenses but ... the outside diameter has to be a little bit smaler than 10" .. maybe 9 7/16 (?). The inner Ring diameter has to be a litte bit smaler than 9" .. maybe 8 7/16 (?). I try to find this lenses sins 2 years on ebay and on a couple other places into the Internet. All I found was to small ... some to large. Maybe someone has any Information where I can find a set.

Good Morning...Mal to the rescue! I like it! Ernie in Arizona

Ozstatman,
Thank you for your Information and the adress from Don Axelrod. Unbelievable ... he found a set of 2 Headlight lenses for my 1924 Sport Phaeton in his Basement and they was realy NOS and in perfect condition. After a shipping time of 4 month they arrived me last week over here in Germany.
And after a guy over here in Germany remade the Badgeds for my Westinghouse Airsprings (dont ask for the price)... all oft the missing Parts for my 1924 Sport are now complete.

Although your '24 Single Eight, Sport is in the Registry I second West's request. Or you could think of it as a visible thankyou.

Mal, .. of course … the Internet and PI is for us Packard car freaks the most helpful way ever. Without this .. I never could finish my 1924 Sport restauration to a nearly 100% original condition. And without friends like DavidMc and Pat from “Bills Speedometershop” helpful Informations and parts search and parts shipping organization it would be impossible to restore a Packard over here in Germany into this condition I work on. I hoped the Car is painted till July this year because I believed that the Fenders and the Running boards are in paintable condition after I removed them 3 years ago. But …. now after a closer inspection …. all Fenders has nearly a ¼ inch thick plastic putty on it. And after I removed this there was a lot of holes every where closed with fiberglass. On the rear Fender the whole surface was … patchwork .. but overall .. inside and outside they was great sanded and painted. The Runnigboards was made on the same way and after stripping .. they was just scrap. So … there is no paint the car this year because I have to fix the fender problems. After this .. West Peterson .. I `ll post some pics from the car. I hope to finish the restauration in the middle of next year.
