Packard Forum Index » Pre-War (1899-1942)

Years ago I acquired a pile of '39 Super Eight parts from a chap who had restored a car and wanted to get rid of the remnants of the parts car.
I have these brake drums (and assorted other hard parts) and would like some confirmation of identity before I start advertising them.
Any help is appreciated.


Thanks for looking..

P.S. I also have a steering column and box, front fender supports, brake cores, etc if any reader is interested ....

No wheel studs? If it's Packard, all it could be is 1956 rear. Or it's been mongrelized.

Packard had threaded holes for the wheel bolts but this has only holes. As Owen_Dyneto said, if Packard, it has been modified.

Don, of course you're right about threaded holes, mental lapse on my part. But also take a look at the thickness of the shell, far too thin for enough thread depth to secure lug bolts. So by design the only Packard drum it resembles is 1956 rear.

Didn't the '56 also use the bolts? I thought that my Clipper had them.
