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

Hi,
The engine of my Light Eight Coupe is being rebuild at the moment. It's very difficult to get parts here in Europe or to find out where to buy them in the US. Does anyone know some companies in the US (or Europe or anywhere) that sells parts?

I am also interested in running board mats and wiring.

Thanks!
Ronald

They are fairly difficult as well in the US. You have a 1932?

Clearly, Max Merritt (Indiana) is the oldest obvious choice of a Packard Parts source...especially engine, mechanical and undercarriage parts.

They run a real responsive business and are very professional...no fooling around. They are proud of their prices but usually have original or high quality reproduction parts.

In the 1960's through 1980's they were the original Packard Farm...sold to Max Merritt...then sold to Fred & Jackie Bruner who are presently running the business.

Their website is:packardparts.com/

You can search their online catalogue at:parts123.com/parts123/yb.dll?userwatch%7EdynamicSearchPage%7EcadeffdA

Call them via voice phone even if the online catalogue doesnt show your part...they often have things in production, storage waiting cataloguing/listing and/or know who else might have your part.

RUNNINGBOARD MATS: Try Northfield; I bought my 1937 Twelve mats from them...excellent faithful reproductions; they show your light 8 mats...verify lengths, etc...again, best over the phone by voice once you make contact...I know you are in Europe, but you may have to call them in your evening...it is worth it:northfieldltd.com/pricelist.html

WIRING HARNESS: Try Jeb Justice at Potomac Packards (I sent you a private message with contact info to maintain privacy). I have purchased excellent, well labelled with good schematic diagrams from Rhode Island wiring (https://www.riwire.com/); click Packard and go to page 3 for 1932 Light Eight harnesses.

I am not part of their businesses or affiliated with them...just trying to answer your question.

Egge in CA primarily for engine parts; valves, guides, pistons, bearings, gaskets, etc. A long-time, established supplier to the hobby.

Yes, 1932, as its was a one-year-only-model.

I noticed the timing marks on the balancer. Original or added?
