This method would be near impossible since the bulb is recessed about an inch into the head.

I restored my 1937 Packard Super-Eight 30 years ago. Unfortunately, I did not have the foresight to periodically remove the temperature bulb from the head and now it is stuck. The retaining fastener and sleeve easily came out, but the bulb is stuck from rust? corrosion? whatever.... I am trying to soak it with penetrating fluid, but wonder if any reader has crossed this bridge and has a great hack. I am hoping to avoid 'major surgery' of removing the head...etc... Thanks for reading this post Bob

Thanks! I like those prices!!!

I have not replaced shocks on a car in several decades. I used to use Monroe but I see other brands on the internet...KYB, Sensen, Duralast, Sachs... I am looking for advice from owners who have crossed this bridge recently. What has been your experience? Bob

This unit was removed from a 1966 Lincoln in 1980 and has been taking up shelf space. Sell for $50 + shipping from 77406. If you need more details and pics, let me know. Thanks for looking.

I don't recall ever seeing anything in print about the maintenance of emergency brake cables. Are they supposed to be lubricated? Oil? Grease? Graphite? No lubrication? Since they are so close to the road and blowing dust, I would expect not to use oil or grease, so what are your thoughts?

Yes, it was probably part of a set. I do have a companion print of a 1930 Dodge in a really neat setting. I would take issue with the 10-15 dollar value. Heck magazine ads are selling for that kind of price. Since there is so little out there about Peerless, I think it would be a shame if there was no one out there trying to perpetuate the name of one of the three great Ps.

I have this print of a Peerless and would like to find more information about the artist...other copies....value. I searched the internet for the printer Lakeland Graphics Reproductions and find nothing. Any help wold be appreciated. Thanks for looking. Bob

For those who did not attend the Centennial Celebration in 1999, we had a unique pair of LeBarons. Some might question the color combinations, but Packard literature for the LeBaron states "Special color for body, bonnet, chassis, or wheels" in the section of Special Equipment at Extra Cost.

I can't answer that question. My expertise is strictly 1937 Seniors. My mild interest in this car is because the late Ed Jones had an almost identical body modified from a 1937 Super-Eight limousine. Unfortunately, he never had documentation of the builder, but the data plate defined the car as 1015-___. Here's another pic from the Centennial....

Here's a pic I took of the car at Warren in '99. Also, the LeBaron's serial number starts with the series, whereas modified limousines start with the model number.

If you are referring to 'all' as all Rollson/Rollston, I can not comment. They are not my expertise. if you are referring to 'all' as all coach builders, I can only add that 1935-37 LeBaron A.W. Cabriolets and Town Cars were NOT modified Formal Sedans and Limousines as one noted author had stated. The bodies were specially made. (which I spell out in detail in my forthcoming book on the 1937 Super-Eights and Twelves). Here's one pic that documents the uniqueness. The center post area clearly shows the bezel not crossing but wrapping around the rear door window. Bob

This car was at the Centennial in Warren back in 1999. I took several photos of it at the time. (I was the Coordinator of the class of the Cabriolets and Town Cars) In MY estimation, the tell-tale sign that it is a modified limousine is the upper bezel that crosses the center post and continues into the front door only to end in the air.

This vanity license plate is in great condition... really straight.....$30 plus shipping from 77406. Please ask questions.....

This pair is in good condition, but, of course, ask questions. I will take $40 for the pair plus shipping.... your choice...USPS, UPS, Fedex. I take PayPal and Postal Money Orders. Thanks for looking.

Yes.

Here are two bumpers that I painted white to avoid reflections.

Caution when identifying 1937 Senior bumpers. The 1937 bumpers had kind of a flat line on the top and bottom, which was painted black. The 1938-39 Senior bumpers LOOK the same, but the lines have more of a radius and were not painted black. Also, there are several different rear bumpers. They are all listed in the parts book. As I recall, sedans- with or without a trunk rack, coupes, etc....

Here are pics of the leather notepad holder and little red pencil....unfortunately the paper is missing. Next to it is the accompanying leather bound beveled mirror. These are original to our 1937 RHD 1500 with 8,753 miles. I had the exceptional opportunity to speak with the original owner in Edinburgh Scotland after I acquired it in 1980.

Thanks for the post, carbking. Yes, Stromberg did specify the lower spring as you can see it listed as #27.

I have disassembled two EE23 carbs and found two different springs on the lower portion of the pump piston and two different springs on the upper portion. Unfortunately, Stromberg did not publish specifications for the springs....at least in the documentation I have. What I would like to know is how does the stiffness of the upper spring affect performance and how does the stiffness of the lower spring affect performance?

In 1920 the silent movie "Something New" was full feature that was made with the cooperation of the Maxwell company. It is a hilarious cowboy story where the car is the star of the story. Some would say it is an 80 minutes commercial.

I am told that this lens fits the 22nd and 23rd Series short wheelbase Std and Super models. It is in excellent condition and is probably NOS from the inventory I acquired from a dealership. $50 + shipping from Richmond TX 77406. Bob Supina ThePackardMan@gmail.com

This lens is in VG shape. I understand it was used on the 1933 Chrysler. $200 + shipping from Richmond TX 77406. Your choice of shipping ... USPS, UPS, FEDEX. Bob Supina ThePackardMan@gmail.com 281-606-9950 Please ask questions

I appreciate all the input. Many thanks! Bob
