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

I recently purchased a 333 phaeton which needs interior and trim work along with the convertible top parts.
If any one can share some pics of details so Ill know what its all supposed to look like Id really appreciate it.
This is a project car that has had a frame off restoration but body and interior is still in need of completion.
I looked here at the owner register and there was only one 1927 shown but with no owner contact info.
Thanks for your help
Barry

Barry,

Is the Phaeton owner the poster in Post #4 of this thread? If it is you could try sending him a PM by clicking on his Forum Name then going from there.

thanks Ill try that!

Barry,
The attached information regarding the 533 will be virtually identical to your 333. The basic body for the 333, and 533 are the same and I doubt that there is any significant difference in the upholstery and top.
I hope it helps.

Thanks for the info!
Body wise are the cars similar or the same?
I'm needing a locker front valant and wonder if other years might work with the 333.
Thanks again
Barry

Barry,
Each of the bodies types of many of the Packards through the twenties are the same. This also applies to the eight cylinder models where the only difference with the eights is they have longer hoods than the sixes.

What is a "locker front valant" ? If its the apron under the radiator then it will be the same for many models and not particularly difficult to make.
David

sorry that was supposed to be lower front valance, that along with the engine splash pans are items I need.

Barry,
I would expect that the lower front valence which I assume is the two piece panel under the radiator will be common to just about all six and eight cylinder cars from the early 1920's through 1929 and possibly later regardless of body style
The engine splash trays will be common to all Sixes through the same period

The valance on both six cylinders I have is a one piece construction, my 31 has the two piece you speak of. It's great to know the splash pans are pretty common since I need them as well. Can you tell me at what year the pans would have changed and more importantly do you have any ideas where I might find a pair?
Thanks again for all your input
Barry

Barry,
I have just looked at the parts list book covering all 1st to 5th Series Packards. This has revealed the following.
The panel under the radiator is called "Radiator Splasher Assembly" and part number 133497 is common to all 326, 333, 426 & 433 cars. The illustration looks the same for a much wider range of models.
The splash pans are called "Motor Crankcase Mud Guard Left and ditto Right", part numbers 133141 & 133142 cover all 326, 333, 426 & 433 models. As for the above the illustrations look the same for a much wide range of models
While the part numbers are not the same for a wider range of models I suspect the differences are minor.
I cannot help you with a source for any of these parts, I am in Australia however they would be relatively simple to copy for someone with panel beating skills .
