In addition to the tube, there also appears to be a home made heat shield over the manifold. I am surprised all that is needed on a 6 -- or even an 8 for that matter. Wonder what the symptoms were that it was felt all the extra would help. The way the tube is bent it might be feeding cool air from under the car or else angled over to the knockout in the radiator shroud the fresh air vent used.

If it does help then the next owner can make the tube look a little more professional. Packard might have done it using something along the lines of the metal heater fresh air vent tube for cool air or the 356 crankcase vent installation for fan forced air.

No telling if it's really a 29 packard gastank, but if you're looking for 1 here she is:

Hi

Figure this one out, that '50 Super Deluxe Eight in Wisconsin:

First, 23 days ago, it was $7,500, 73K miles:

Second, 20 days ago, it was $6,000, 73K miles:

Now, 23 hours ago, its $7,800, 76K miles, better photos:

Like the price 20 days ago best, cheap for a great Packard.

Estate auction with multiple post-wars, and parts:
http://kpr.craigslist.org/ptd/5177135865.html

I looked up the auction company for that sale: 20% selling fee for anything over $500,and 10% buyers premium, if you pay cash!

If a car brings $10,000 (for calculations sake):

Buyer gets $8,000
seller pays $11,000
auction company makes $3,000

That's what they call highway robbery

Hi

Unfortunate that auction is so poorly publicized and the fees excessive, interesting group of cars and parts.

This '56 seemed very exciting until I had it inspected about a year ago. After years in the Kepich warehouse, It has sat outdoors a long time. The complete mechanics will need to be gone through to return to the road. 5K would be stretching it.
Sad.

I understand he loves his 56 but too bad he doesn't even know where the ballpark is.

Hi

Unfortunate that '56 400, shame to let it deteriorate outside but that seems to happen too often. More '56 400's to consider:

Gorgeous green and white, looks wonderful!:

Or red and white, not quite as nice but potential to be:

Or, deteriorating under the California sun:
