Found the post below in the Chatroom. Same poster as a little while ago. I'll PM him again.

[1930-726] 3:46 am: does anyone know the overall length of a 1930 726 packard; not the wheelbase? thanks.

16'6" from front bumper to the back of the trunk which overhangs the rear bumper by a foot. 15'6" bumper to bumper. I ran a tape measure under my car and eyeballed it so measurements are plus or minus an inch.

thank u Scott.
i'm buying a airchamber for the packard which i have not seen as of yet. its in transport from california to me in texas.

those airchambers cost around $950, without a 20% off sale ending today. now i'll know which size to order.

thanks again...bob

Bob,

You are most welcome. And I already know how much you are going to enjoy that car!

Scott

Just wondering what an airchamber is?

My 726 is currently dusty

Thanks Scott, what will they think of next.

google airchamber and give us your thoughts please.

even in a climate controlled garage that this investment will be in, i don't have the inclination to continually maintain her. in my texas locale we have large ranges of change in:dust/temps/moisture/humidity and wind conditions. and,it seems folks which know a lot more than i do about such things are utilizing the airchambers.

take a look at your google results and your thoughts...

p.s. how do you attach a pic after you have accessed the image icon?

Bob,

I was going to ask you about the air chamber. Moisture isn't much of a problem in San Diego, it's stays dry. My car does get dusty, but then I get to commune with it while dusting. My garage is detached and not heated or air conditioned. I can see where they would be popular in damp climates.

Anybody else have experience with these?

Scott
