    Packard Twin Six

    Hi,

    From the Brigham book:

    !st Series serial numbers go from 80.000 in June 1915 to 87,787 in August 1916 . Using some math, you should be able to come close to a "birth" date.

    Next would to be get dirty and look for casting dates on the engine base (underneath), the transmission case (on the side), and on the differential housing(don't remember where). You have to assume a few days to finish the car to get the actual shipping date.

    Dan Summer has a 1st/2nd Series that he tours with.

    Good luck,

    Bill B.

    PS th jcrow.

    My preference is a 3rd Series. 7-pass solon touring

    Rim Finish

    in AACA - Class Judging

    Posted

    Hi Folks,

    I checked the chassis section of the 2015 Judging Manual and find no mention of guidelines for finish on rims.

    What are the correct finishes and dates for chrome, cadmium, zinc, or paint on rims?

    We have a '26 Chrysler that is original and the rims are either zinc or cadmium.

    I've judged earlier vehicles with the rims painted black. No deductions. I see vehicles of the cjassic era with chrome rims.

    Your comments, please.

    PS: Would cBen take a look and post a reply/ :rolleyes:

    Ductile Iron Foundries

    in General Discussion

    Hi, Bill.

    Received you e-mail and I am doing fine. Thank you. Hope all is well with you, too.

    Pondered your query and I lean towards cahartley's suggestion to start with Tomahawk. Checked Tomahawk's website and the first thing I had in mind was to check their experience with ductile. Ductile is spheroidal (a.k.a. nodular) graphite iron and requires good, even displacement. To assure the chemistry metallurgical procedures prior to pouring the mold are critical. Know this from some disasterous misrepresentations for ductile of which offshore and "3 domestic" foundries attempted to pass off as ductile when under the microscope the castings were in reality a poor grade of cast iron (graphitic flakes).

    Just mentioning this as I do not know if the 2 castings you are in need of are under any stresses in their working atmosphere. Also the grade of ductile comes into play depending on the application.

    In short, could you post a photo of the parts? Not sure if these are the same parts our good friend Pat Thorpe (ex98thdrill) asked me about a few months ago.

    Regards,

    Peter.

    Hi,

    Now that aventey has invited us to change the subject, here goes;

    My friends have Model As, but I have a Model G.

    They, for the most part, have suburbans for tow vehicles, but we have an E-350 Ford window van.

    Bought last year. 15,000 miles used. $19,200. Outfitted to tow 10,000 pounds for about $800.00. 5.7L engine, not great power, but reasonable mileage when not towing.

    Our local Ford dealer has a few left. Red, white, or silver.

    Just a suggestion.post-30916-143142451961_thumb.jpg
