JW, you can buy it now at any retailer i believe. I forgot about your car being in the movie and plan to view it soon myself. as for F1, I wish BMW was still running around out there.

Got a DVD of "Parkland" this afternoon and viewed it. Thanks Hank. The scene where my 55 Clipper was used did not make the final version. The scene was redone completely different with no cars involved. It is a powerful and intense movie. Well done and I recommend it to those interested in the assassination. Oh well, my fleeting fame once again escapes me.

I was about to ask you if you thought the scene with your car was cut, cause I could not find it either.
disappointing it was cut. ![]()

Thursday 21st November 2013
After a morning visiting the grandkids arrived home to receive a call from Wade.....he was at the workshop! Arriving there found Wade with 2 disassembled fuel/vacuum pumps. The inoperative one from Amelia, there's an electric pump installed, and another I'd bought off eBay on Ross's behalf. Wades plan was to use the best of both pumps for the rebuild. But first we pulled the top off the trans section of the R9 OD trans I'd bought last month which, from a cursory inspection, looks OK. Plan there is that Wade will disassemble the whole unit at his leisure, present me with a list of requirements which, once met, will be followed by reassembly and eventually swapping with the current unit in the Coupe. But back to the pumps. While I cleaned parts in the blaster, wire wheel or just with cleaner, Wade was supplying me with further parts for cleaning and also reassembling a pump with the rebuild kit procured for that purpose. And the parts left over which are almost as good as the ones rebuilt will, I'm sure, also be rebuilt so that there's a spare pump "on the shelf". Upshot is that the rebuilt pump can now be sent to the guy who has rebuilt the supposedly rebuilt engine in Amelia. The now properly rebuilt engine will be run and tested before being shipped to Wade for reuniting with Amelia. On another note, Wade and PeterL attended the Bendigo Swap Meet this past weekend. This resulted in a phone call from Wade on Saturday asking what a P/N #446095 Crown Wheel fitted? From the top of my head I advised a 50's Packard. But subsequent investigation of the 48-54 Parts List in the Literature and Manuals section on site couldn't confirm that. Instead in Group 12.005 there is a listing of Crown Wheel and Pinion sets which carry P/N's like 60xxxx! Sighting the pinion and crown wheel today which are marked 446094-10-41 Packard 8 53 and 446095-41-10 Packard 12 9 51 respectively. Interesting the differences in dates between the crown wheel and pinion but I'm more interested to learn if there's a source available to be able to translate the #446xxx numbers to the #60xxxx numbers! And a big round of ![]() Attach file: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Hi Mal, I don't think there is any way to match the 446xxx numbers with the numbers for the gear sets which were supplied as a matched pair. The individual numbers were likely used to identify the gears in the manufacturing process before becoming a set after final grinding.

Thanks Brian, I suspected as much. But thought I'd put it out there nonetheless.

A New Year, with Wade at the workshop today gathering up parts, equipment and stuff to be transported north to continue outfitting his Shed. Lent a hand to disassemble part of the old sheet metal shelving that stands against the far wall. All the stuff formerly occupying that shelving has itself already made the journey north but is presently occupying floor space in the Shed. Besides the shelving, a 320 head, exhaust manifold, starter and generator were also going. As well as some sundries and a bar fridge. After all, what would a shed be without a fridge? Also going, but not loaded by the time I left, was a trunk and running board matting for The Fossil, with these having gathered quite a layer of dust over the years. And speaking of The Fossil, Wade tells me that, when it too goes north, it's likely to occupy a space in the main garage attached to the house. Apparently there's little chance of it getting into the Shed with a few other vehicles already ensconced. But to fit it in the garage the front bumper will need to be removed!

Wade's NEW Workshop

Monday 13th January 2014
An auspicious occasion today, I visited Wade's NEW Workshop near the shores of Lake Macquarie! Although Wade has been ensconced there since the middle of 2013 I hadn't yet made the pilgrimage to what will surely become a Packard sacred site. All that changed because I had an ulterior motive, not just to visit Wade and Gina but also to get Wade to run a hand and eye over the Coupe which was due for it's annual roadworthiness inspection check. No need to worry except for a blown tail/stop light bulb as well as a bad connection to that light, easily fixed. The other thing attended to was the drivers door arm rest which wanted to seperate itself from its fixings. A pair of bigger screws and it was back where it belonged. Besides enjoying the hospitality of Wade and Gina, with homemade pizzas for lunch(delicious) also had the opportunity to catch up with another PACA member and good mate of Wade's, PeterL, who literally lives just a stones throw away. Saw Peter's latest acquisition, his Hardtop '56 Buick Roadmaster as well as his FX Holden Sedan and '38 120 Sedan(although that was under a cover). A thoroughly enjoyable day with the Coupe running well on the 130 mile round trip. Sat on an indicated 60mph on the Freeway but, factoring speedo error in, it's more like 55mph. It would have been faster if the OD was right but fixing that is some way in the future. Attach file: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
