Good Morning all, A few years back we had a bad storm roll through and our house was hit by lighting. What we learned from that is to go around and unplug things like the TV's, stereo etc. Well while we were going around to unplug things all of the sudden we heard a loud bang and there was very bright flash. Yes we were hit once again. As Sue and I were walking around the house checking to see what got damaged/blown she called me out to the garage. We had water coming in through the sills. As I walked around Old Bessie (Packard) I am like what the heck is this on the floor. I picked up the obj

Porcelain Gas & Oil Signs and Pumps for Sale

Anthony, I believe I found your site http://www.redhotrelics.com/shop.php. You have some great looking signs there. For now I will have to take a pass since the price of them would take a good bite out of my restoration funds for the Packard. Maybe sometime down the road. Thanks -

Hi Matt, Sure hope I don't run into this matter with my tires again. Already had to replace them once. See my thread here http://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=11476&forum=4&post_id=119165#forumpost119165 I too had the rim all nicely painted and now from the dismounting of the tire and remounting of the new tires my rims got a little beat up also. Like you Matt I like the looks of the White's and the tread pattern of the Firestone's. If they are to yellow again I am not sure what I will do?

What quick service I have received from Universal Tire. When we got home from work on Friday four tires were sitting on our front stoop. My twin and younger brother came over on Saturday and help me dismount the other tires. My nicely paint rims got a few chips here and there I knew that was going to happen because them snap rings are not the easiest to get off and on. A little sanding and touch up will be needed. Before mounting the new tires we took the rims over to a tire/truck repair shop. They put them on a machine and four out of the six had noticeable out of roundness to them. The two

Update over the winter the whites on the tires turned yellow. I wrote an email to the place I purchased the tires had replied back asking me few questions. Instead emailing I gave him a call back today. He stated that it a manufacturers defect on how they installed the white wall. So at no cost to me with shipping they will be sending me 4 new tires. All I need to do is send him back the other ones. Not sure if it correct for me to say what company it is but it is https://www.universaltire.com/
