5" flexible vent duct

Just can't stay away

Does anyone have a source for the 5" black flexible duct that runs to and from the blower motor and vent pipe on the 1951-54 Packards?

Home away from home

Marine supply stores have all sizes of duct tubing.

The Southern California Chapter of Packards International sells the correct style and material of tubing. It's not to expensive either. Looks way better than the corrugated dryer vent stuff.

I want to thank all who offered suggestions for the duct, however, $60.00 is a little steep to spend on the Rodney Dangerfield of the Packard lineup, so I looked at McMaster Carr. I'm gonna try their Pt# 5501K64. At 3.43/foot,
five foot minimum order, it fits my budget a little better.
I am going to pick it up in a couple of days, (Mc Master Carr is 2 miles from me,). I"ll report how it worked.
Thanks,
Casey Rog
