Hi Bernie, I hope that you didn't trash the Gabriel Snubber tool!! Regards, Bill B.

Hi Folks, Thanks for your replies. I have a strange noise coming from the underside of our '26 phaeton. I'll investigate further and get ready to overhaul the differential this winter.

Hi, I need part numbers and source for the pinion bearing and seal for our 1926 Model G-70 phaeton. Thanks:)

Hi, Did you also install a pressure regulator? If so, what make and part number did you use? Thanks, Bill Boudway

Hi Bernie, Thanks for the offer! We need the used motor oil here in Canandaigua, NY, USA. My BMW mechanic has a waste oil furnace for heating. Can you bring it along on your next trip? Best always, Bill B. PS: Perhaps Coburn could use this. He's located in the cold north region.

We'll be driving up Thursday in Grace's '64 Corvair (repeat HPOF). Plan to stop to visit the museum in Saratoga Springs and arrive on Friday. Also trying to demonstrate to the wife that car meets can be fun.

Hi, These are still available. The price is now negotiable.

This postcard is in the same place as the one for the BMW Club and Penn State Alumnae: The recycle bin. I don't need any more personal information out there for someone to use for junk mailings. If this is a fund raising project by AACA, we should have been informed with the benefits defined.

Hi, We don't have our Twin Six finished, so we'll have to pass up this tour. However there are two interesting sites that you might include: First, Northlandz is a huge (40,000 square foot) model train exhibit located a couple of miles east of Flemington on US Route 202. Allow more than an hour to take it all in. The other is not easy to find. It's an interesting one lane,iron bridge somewhere north and east of Stocton. On a creek that feeds into the Delaware River. Good luck for the tour

Hi, We like "Genevive" A movie about the London-Brighton run. Set in the 1950s. I believe dated 1953. Somewhat corny, but lots of shots of horseless carriages.

Our 1919 Packard Twin Six Packard was claimed from a pasture in Texas where it powered a Papec grain hammermill. I couldn't resist the temptation to "adopt" it, so that began the journey in April of 1971. Years later I discovered a Springfield Rolls chassis that was serving as a hay wagon. Wire wheels and all. It went to a fellow in Texas.

Hi, again, Google "Staver" for more that you'd ever need to know about the automobile.

Hi Dick, Do you mean Staver? We had one here in Canandaigua a few years ago, and I saw a Staver carriage in the museum in Hastings, Nebraska last spring

Hi,and good morning, Amen to Coburn's suggestion. There's a good manual for the Packard Single Six on eBay now. Here's the link: Packard 6 Parts Book 1922 1923 1924 1925 1926 1927 1928 - eBay (item 160508381538 end time Mar-18-11 17:11:58 PDT)

Hi, I stand corrected on the cyl head nuts. I was assuming they were the same as for our Twin Six. Acorn nuts pose a problem if you remove material from the head or block. It's possible to bottom out the nut and not apply sufficient clamping force to the head gasket. We found out the disastrous results from this with our friend's '31 Lincoln. We should have used thicker washers. Leaky gasket and a serious problem with Evans coolant in the cylinders and crankcase. PS: Isn't it bedtime Down Under?

Hi Bernie, These should be the Packard type acorn nuts. A few years ago I was able to purchase a set in stainless steel from the Gilmore Museum in Kalamazoo, Michigan. These will polish up to look almost like the correct nickel plate finish. Please don't tell this to any nit-picking judge. Be sure to check the thread measurement. It will probably be 1/2" X 18.

Hi, My wife, Grace, has a '64 Monza coupe, 110HP w/PG. HPOF certified. 75,000 miles Nice tour car. Here's a photo of us on tour with it in Maine. "If we didn't drive it, we might as well collect clocks":)

Hi Bernie, That cap is "toast" Good for nothing but a pattern. Hopefully you can find a piece of aluminum to machine to replace it. An aluminum forging would be perfect. Steel would work, but the different rates of expansion between the steel and aluminum engine base may be a problem. Keep us posted.

Hi Bernie. Paint sample is on the way VIA US Postal Service (AKA snailmail) Dark green, very dark. Hope that it's helpful PS: The engine paint that is available from Hirsch is for the later Packards. A lighter shade.

Hi, Does anyone have similar info for a 1926 Model G-70 Sport Phaeton? I'm trying to get info on the bumpers, wind wings, spotlight, and step plates on our Chrysler. These are added accessories from what I can see on factory photos. Thanks:)

Hi, I'll be there and will bring a sturdy snow shovel and warm boots and hat. Should I bring the snow scoop for you to borrow, Silverghost?

Hi Bernie, Here's the PPG Delstar # for the Packard engine paint: DAR 45786.Dark Green This has been reviewed by the Chief Judge for the Packard Club as correct for the early Packards. If you need a sample, I can brush out some on an aluminum chip and send it along. I wouldn't hesitate to make a new bearing cap of steel. The shape shouldn't be too challenging to duplicate. We'd all like to see photos. By the way, who was your source for the snubber webbing?
