Packard Forum Index » Post-War (1946-54)

Hey I'm new to the forum and the Packard community. My dad and I just picked up a 1954 Packard Cavalier yesterday. I figured since I need some help that getting to know the members of this forum would be a good idea. I hope to post some pictures of it so you can give me any advice that you have. The only things that I do know as of right now is that it needs a new fuel pump and thermostat housing. Hope you guys can help and I'll try my best to get those pictures up soon.

Welcome to the Website! Please add you Cavalier to the Owner's Registry.

You can buy a Fuel Pump rebuild kit fromthen-now.com

There is also an article here I wrote on rebuilding the pump on my '54 Clipper. It should be exactly the same process for your Cavalier.

I can't remember which one, but one of the PI chapters sells a solid brass reproduction water neck (thermostat housing) that will last a life time. It is far superior to the stock one. I will try to find that information for you.

It's the Packard International Southern Calif chapter that sells the new waternecks.

Here is the link to their website catalog page:

Midtwnman: A BIG WELCOME to you.

I am the owner of a 1953 Packard Cavalier which is still under going restoration. I have owned my 53 for about 11 years now.

Please be sure and register you 54 Cavalier. If you go to the owner registry you will find a picture of my 53.

welcome ot the forum. Don't be shy and ask questions, a lot of good experience on this board

Welcome to both you and your Dad. Glad to have you on board. There are many knowledgeable Packard people here so don't be shy. Jump right in with any questions or concerns you have.

Thanks for the info. It will be a big help. Now if I can just figure out how to order it, I will be set. I can't seem to find an add to cart feature or a phone number to call. Some help would be appreciated...sorry.

For the Water Necks the contact infomation for the Southern Calif PI Chapter is:

626-961-8096
Contact: Jay Johnson

If you for some reason cant get anywhere with that number then call the main PI Office at:

Phone: (714) 541-8431

I belive the Main PI office is only open between 9am-1pm (PST)

Here she is... Let me know what you guys think of her.

Your Cav looks pretty decent. Just a some surface rust? Hows the interior?
