It appears the plate may have a more permanent printing or embossing for the model/serial space. Is it too much trouble to get a close up of that space? Yours looks like 110X? Does this indeed look like a water-slide decal? thanks Craig Attach file:   (24.63 KB) Posted on: 2009/3/31 3:31

If you're asking about the tubing in post #9 at the upper right corner of the decal, it's the capillary feed to the oil pressure gauge. Posted on: 2009/3/31 8:33

Figured it was something like that but the fitting thru firewall seems so big --like it's a support for something directly mounted to it. Am too used to the fairly thin tubing and gauges mounted in dash on postwar cars I guess. Posted on: 2009/3/31 8:39

The big fitting is just to connect the thin tube on both sides. Posted on: 2009/4/1 0:53

Another member has posted a picture of an actual unreadable decal here:packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb ... ic.php?post_id=24434#forumpost24434 Howard, the stamped plate under the Body Dash Number in the illustration looks suspiciously like a Briggs Body Number, but that could not be.

The patent numbers might be a bit off, but that's one way to make a reproduction. If anyone is interested let me know. I found this on ebay, but it is obviously the wrong one for 38. ebay.com/itm/Packard-Data-Plate-Brass-19 ... D4%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D290951954574%26 Posted on: 2013/8/13 20:50
