Parts are going to be a mite hard to find, maybe?

What a beautiful automobile! Good luck with sale! Steve

Does it even turn?

Simply a really lovely Stude - good luck with selling!

Was a nice car, such a shame....................

How many miles on her also?

Thank you for all your replies everyone, and it's supposed to be VRB-4012A, NOT VRB-4002A. It was a typo where I got the info from. So as I see from the info supplied, VRB-4012A (the original) can be interchanged with VRP-4002B and/or VRR-4005A? And I would have no problems matching these to my generator? Oh and Bill - I just missed bidding on the ebay VRB-4012A. Durn! Steve

Don, would you happen to have an Autolite regulator VRB -4002A from a 1939 Super-8 Packard? I'm looking for one....... just wondered. Steve

I always had problems with Japanese cars, yet none, absolutely none with 2 Jaguar E-Types and an Aston DB-6....................go figure.

Hi, looking for a Autolite 6 volt regulator VRB-4012A for a 1939 Super-8 Packard. Anyone? Steve

I honestly feel that no matter where the car was built, if the profits go to a country other than America, it's not an American car !!! Does anyone feel the same way I do? .......Steve

Had my Caribbean out last Sunday and put some fresh gas in 'er. As I'm pumping petrol an older couple comes over and starts oohhing and ahhing over it - and I get this alot, the gent asks me am I the original owner, but I see he has a smile and a twinkle in his eye so I play along and say "yes I was 2 weeks old when I saw her in the showroom and I just had to have her" [ which timewise is correct, I was about 2 weeks old when she was built ]. I was then asked by the older gents wife, who didn't have a smile and a twinkle in her eye "do you remember what you paid for it?". It was worth it to see the look on her husbands face. A Kodak moment! Btw- I've been told I look like I'm in my early forties than my actual 53 years young, so take it from there. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> .........................Steve

Any pictures to post ? ...............Steve

Arias pistons will probably save you alot of money in the short and long run. That's what I have now in my '54 Caribbean and it runs as smooth as a vodka martini served with kina lillet and of course shaken, not stirred. I originally bored out my 359 cu.in. engine to .020 over bore when I rebuilt it. I used egge pistons. Worst thing I ever did. The connecting rod on the pistons elongated over a short period of time and ruined the block bores. Had to take apart the engine [not cheap, you know] and had to rebore another .020 for a total of .040. Sent egge the pistons back with a bill for the second engine rebuild. They sent me a refund for the pistons only. A really great business !!! Had a friend with a 1923 Bentley 3 Litre rebuilt his engine the same time as mine with egge pistons. 550 miles later as he was gently breaking in the motor a piston crown came off the piston - you can imagine what the did to the head and block! I told him to send in the $8,200 repair bill with the piston bill and he got his money back - for the pistons.... I have 3 more stories if anyone's interested, i just don't want to take up all the space on the post board. .......................Steve
