Try David Moe (Seattle Packards) for the rumble seat step that mounts on the bumper. He has replicated them. I bought one from him for my 115C Convertible Coupe. He may also have your manifolds (I got an exhaust from him). He is a regular advertiser in Packard clubs' magazines.

Don, try sending Flackmaster who is on here from time to time a PM. He is really big on 37 juniors, probably has most of what you need.
Best of luck, Jim

Sorry'
I thought my reply on the Australia car took but I will rewrite the story. In 1984 I sold a 37 120 business coupe to a George Miunder in Melbourne. He was in the business of buying chevrolet Crew cab pickups and 350 cubic inch motors. Taking then to Australia and rebuilding the trucks into RHD and rebuilding the motors. He would also buy 2-3 vintage cars in each batch he exported. I remember selling the coupe for 2000 USD it had a banjo wheel, radio, trunk rack. and heater setup. quite a deal, I often wonder what happened to it. George said he had the parts to convert it to RHD or he would not have bought it. I think now you can have a LHD car there, if I am not mistaken.

Here is the first picture of the project car when I first got it home. I have just about replaced all the bolt on sheet metal and have aquired lots of options for it.

Don,
Don't be sorry for technical glitches beyond your control. My for the info on the Coupe that came to Oz. May be helpful if someone here in PACA now owns the car and wants to trace its history and ownership.

Wife got jealous, she bought a 1937 1098 Business coupe that was in the middle of a restoration.BUT!!!!! a huge percentage of the cars body parts (fenders, front and rear, running boards, hood, grille, seat, grille shell, and other parts were destroyed in a fire, the basic body, frame and rebuilt engine was at another location and was spared. Having a complete 1092 as a donor we are able to save this car. So I think we can share the blog. Don and Rachels 37's
Her car will be taken to Wichita Kansas to the Great Plains Packard Clubs mechanic to get running and maybe put together some. It does have a few options on it Banjo Wheel, Deluxe Heater, Goodess of Speed, and a Trunk Emblem that says Packard 120. Timeline on taking it to the shop is the last week of June. Then I can concentrate on the 120CD Sport Coupe. Yes Ozstatman I am going to put it in the list very shortly. Hows that for being proactive

Don's Banjo Blunder
Recently on eBay a nice looking 1937 Banjo wheel was up for auction. As it was in better shape than the two we have for these coupe projects I succumbed to the lure of the "Buy It Now" and purchased the wheel. After waiting patiently for our package to arrive that day finally came and when I opened the box I will go for the toned down version that I can repeat here is !!!!WOW!!!!. This is a bigger wheel. So after my ID 10T error I decided to do a little report as a counter measure so I will not make the same mistake twice. And I also thought I could place it here for others to not follow my suit and end up with a wheel they end up making a nice clock out of for the garage wall. In my defense when you look at a picture of either individually they do look similar and if the nomenclature does not tell otherwise you too can walk down the "now I have a part I can not use" path. p.s. I am going to make a clock from it but in good judgment I will not alter the wheel, just in case we win the lotto and I can do a senior Packard. Or if someone seeing it on my wall says "Hey I could use that wheel on my car". And down it goes". If I was made whole on my financial blunder or if our kid needs to eat.
