Can u post an eBay link to the shroud u bought???? We would certainly like more details. In 12 years of studying the 55/56 Packards this is the FIRST attempt at a shroud that i know of. Greatest idea thus far to actualy make one happen. I havn't yet. Probably will now.

i went to ebay and put in 56 packard parts and searched through 18 pages hopefully this will get you there sooner the item number is 29056624430 and the seller is welder joe i paid around 50 dollars including shipping it is a welded aluminum shroud and includes mounting tabs good luck i hope they work out for us both.

The number given does not work for curreny items; there are no closed items with that number.

At least for me......

Thank you. I thought it was because I couldn't figure out how to use that search on ebay properly. Even a search by seller didn't work because they want a seller number. Still probably not doing it right, but I at least know others are having the same issue.

If the cooling passenges of your engine are full of rust crud all of these things you are discussing are just band-aids. Know your engine, look inside.

I don;t think was a 'seller number" but rather a security check number that is asked for now on eBay for variuos functions. One such function that asks for a security check number is to 'ask seller a question' directly from an auction list. eBay shows a distorted code that has to be typed into a box by the searching user.

Either way, i've never had any trouble with any of the eBay perusal functions.
I couldn't find it eihter. NO such member: "welder joe" is what was returned to me when i searched "find a member".

seller number is 3635 i told them to come to this thread and find you guys there used to be 18 pages of packard parts today there are 6 and he is not in there i hope this helps they are ready to ship the only way i have been able to find them is to do a search by buyer that would be buddyfromvb you will see recent purchases and can look at the shroud and hopefully contact the elusive seller good luck

One of his current auctions:

For those searching by eBay seller name note that "welder-joe" is hyphenated. There is a "-" between "welder" and "joe".

Don't mean this to be rude, but we went over these jumps in some detail in the previous thread.

The car has been professionally flushed twice in the last year; there may be more crud, but it does not have fifty years of untouched buildup. As noted earlier, it only overheats (and perhaps it is not so much overheating as getting close to vapor lock?) when caught in scorching day non moving traffic, or during a parade. Since my wife likes parades, and you acn't control traffic, a more efficient fan seems like logical, inexpensive insurance for those days. Thinking of adding air, so it makes more sense....I hope.

i just received the aluminum fan shroud ,quality is nice and depth looks great but if the width would have been 2 inches more it would be perfect i will install and let you know next week. this weekend we will be visiting the grandson and his mommy
