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

Hello:
I'm new to the forum, first greet everyone.
I want to restore a 526 runabout, and even though I tried, I could not get construction plans for this car. Well, not from other packards either.
I'm looking for body plans to rebuild the back of the vehicle, I want to be as faithful to the original as possible, but I find it dramatic to find information.
I guess someone in the forum will have encountered the same problem, and I imagine that it could help me find the information I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance

G'day jesus68,
to PackardInfo, but sorry I can't help with your request.

However, I invite you to include your 526 Runabout in the Packard Owner's Registry.

The attached information is all that Packard published on your car - to the best of my knowledge. Fortunately all of the runabout bodies are very similar through the 1920's up to 1929. For more information you will need dimensions, templates and photos from other cars.
I have a 1929 633 Runabout and may be able to assist with more detail if needed.
Do you have any of the original rear bodywork?
