Preserving my 39 Six, looking for information on what held the rear seat in place. Someone over the years tore off the brackets / clamps and used parts of a cut conduit clamp. Anyone have i info, pics or better yet, parts?

What else you have? How much for divider chrome? mine is a Six though, will 120 trim fit a Six?

Thanks Steve. Can't reach out to Dave via this forum as apparently I haven't met the minimum posting requirements yet. Hoping Dave picks this threqd up.

I have a 1939 Packard Six that I am preserving. At the moment, repairing rust in corners of floor pan by rear seat and when I pulled the rear seat out, previous owned used parts of conduit clamps tp hold the seat in place. There are two bosses in the frame just below 1" holes in the seat frame. Does anyone have photos or could outline what the hold down looked like?

120 (8 cyl) 120HP @3800, 12 Cyl, 173HP @ 3200 RPM

Max power, per the manual, is 100 HP @ 3600 RPM, so I would guess redline would be 4200

Arbitrarily set at 2500, starts making a lot of noise at that point anyway! Most people think its a clock, but with the hand set at "12:00" position, looks unusual and they take a second glance

Tachs are quite rare but are in the salesman handbook for the 39 as they introduced Econodrive (overdrive) and the "Handishift", 3 on the tree. My 1939 has one of those rare options, still works, although needs to be repaired / preserved. I am not restoring my 39, just trying to preserve it with its originality

I have a 1939 Six. The dash cluster is held on place with some hard to get to nuts on either side of the cluster, affixing it to the main dash. I believe there were 6 of them

No. I didn't know that Packard even had a clock for the mirror. Mechanical clock, must have been a very large mirror. Do you have a picture of this?

Sorry for the delay, but here are several pictures from my 39 Packard 6. 1201 is the Tach in the dash, 1203 is the generator takeoff and 1204 is the badge on the generator. Happy to answer any more questions or supply more photos

Tom , still looking for photos? I have a 1939 Packard with tachometer in glove box door run mechanically off the back of the generator
