Is it possible the second car is an armoured car with the round device being the base of a gun turret? I've seen photo's of RR's converted for use as armoured cars in WW1 and WW2 but from memory they had enclosed bodies. Just throwing a thought out there.

Question answered in this thread on PAC Site.Thanks PackardBarry.

Received confirmation on the PAC Site, this thread, that the nut is correct but still not clear on it's positioning.

Working with my mate Wade on his '34 restoration and struck a little bump. another one actually there are plenty along the way. Ready to re-install the frame rail covers which go over the top of the front frame rails and extend between the firewall and the foremost front spring hanger at the end of the frame horns. Wade thought he had taken pictures during dis-assembly(about 5 years ago) of the way the frame rail cover is secured to the frame, but if he did take them they can't be found now. Only require advise or confirmation regarding how one of the mountings affixes. The two rearmost points are straight forward while the middle mounting point with a coachbolt set-up is self explanatory. It's the mounting point just in front of the radiator/grill shell that's caused the question to be asked. Wade was heading down one track but it became obvious that it wasn't right because fitment and alignment of the frame cover wasn't working. After a bit of head scratching, consideration and thinking it appears that the mounting at this point should be as follows: - The frame cover has a captive thread on it's underside in a mounting at this point. - A stud is then fastened into the captive thread. - The frame rail cover is positioned with the coachbolt mounting and the stud in their respective positions. - To fasten the frame cover to the frame rail at the point in question an unusually shaped nut fastens to the stud from the underside of the top frame rail. Can anyone with a '34(or '33, which is probably the same), or has worked on or restored one, confirm that this is how it goes together? A related question - why is the fastening nut the unusual shape it is?

A picture to add to Steve's words.

Dave is right, the covers "snap on". Went and had a look at mine and there are 3 bumps on the inside of the cover that snap over some of the six tabs on the horn plate, allows for aligning to get your wire in the right place. Here's a link to my post on PackardInfo when we did the horns on my '41. Packard Motor Car Information - Mal's '41 120 Coupe [Packard Forums - Project Blogs]

Den, One of the guys in our Packard club had the axle in his '34 straightened while it was in the car about 6 months ago. Don't know how it was done but he took the car to a Four Wheel Drive specialist and they did it. It was probably bent about 2". Pic shows left front tyre after it was swapped for a sidemount spare.

Bernie, The real stars of this thread are, of course, you and the Coupe!

Looks like it could be Ford Model A

Looks good Bernie!

G'day again, As mentioned by another poster, the speedo drive should come out reasonably easily after the retaining plate is removed. It's a taper fit into the housing and some gentle persuasion should be all that's required to remove it. Concerning the electrical components, here unfortunately I'm of little help. my mate Wade handles all that sort of thing. Sorry.

Debbelle,Thanks for looking. But unfortunately I don't know what year Willys cap that is.

G'day, Back in December 2009 pulled out the engine/trans/OD "combo" minus manifolds, head, starter and generator from my '41 120 Club Coupe. The governor and solenoid were left on the OD but was very careful in lifting, pulling and maneuvering of the "combo". Here's a link to my Project Blog over on PackardInfo.com starting from Post #339 when the car arrives at the workshop for it's heart transplant.

Need to pick the "Go advanced" button, then select the "Manage Attachments" button(need to scroll down to find that button). Select the pic/s you want to attach, can do up to 6 at a time, and then click on upload button. Note only accepts certain "types"(gif jpe jpeg jpg pdf png) and there is a size restriction on the files, these could be factors for yours not loading.

G'day Debbelle, Over a year ago I posted want ads in the Kaiser---->Willys Forum and also in this Forum for '40 Willys hubcaps and wasn't exactly overwhelmed by responses. Here are links to those threads: - http://forums.aaca.org/f185/wanted-40-willys-hubcaps-283882.html - http://forums.aaca.org/f119/wanted-40-willys-hubcaps-283931.html Still looking so if you can help, Harvey and I would be most appreciative. I see there have been a number of responses from others with hubcaps available so please advise if you can help.

Bernie, Rally Plaques from participation are personal and specific to the car and owner. However, now that you've opened the door, I congratulate you on your extensive collection gathered over your many years of participation in events including some with very limited access. Seeing I started only a couple of years ago, my "collection" pales in comparison. On another matter, a few posts ago you mentioned an Alvis 12/50, well last month I came across one in of all places West Ryde, a Sydney suburb. Couple of pic's I took as it sat at the traffic lights.

Polished up the crystal ball but that didn't help. Maybe a pic to assist?

Link to a REO '33 Flying Cloud Coupe for sale by tender by Sothebys Australia. I don't have any interest in this car just spreading the word. Did see the car about 6 weeks ago because the owner bought a Packard '40 110 Convertible Coupe. Went and visited the owner in my role of club secretary of the Packard Automobile Club of Australia. Some of the pictures I took of the REO are included below. 1933 Reo Flying Cloud Coupe, Sotheby's Australia Auctions, Calender, Australian Auctioneers

Pic of a '24 Stude, if this helps?
