Update: I found some of Greg’s posts which clears this up for me.

No further reply needed; thank you again, Greg!

I was able to pull up several webcams in Buffalo, showing real time views.

My 1931 eight has a blank coving one of the coil positions in the firewall.

I did find some; pointed end eases assembly but is not necessary.

Thanks everyone!

UPDATE: I was able to discuss with Eric Hartz at Hershey; he showed me several samples of materials which are available in suitable width for the Series 80 closed car. I think the appropriate material is available from him if needed.

Hi, Dave; they’re 5/16-24 x 1 1/2 inch.

I did find some new ones but it was after a lot of searching. There are plenty of -18 thread on the market. I could have changed the caged nut to a -18 and gone on from there.

Looks like Fulton is still in business, making trailer couplers. They made one of if not the very first quick-coupler.

Chuck, I enjoyed the brief drive I made in your Packard. Experiencing one of the torsion-ride Packards has been on my bucket list for years. So glad you brought it; it is a beauty! It was such a pleasure seeing you all enjoying it also!

Interesting thread.

my understanding may be insufficient, but silent chains are not much of a mystery and there are several manufacturers; no doubt specialist engineers are around who can determine critical dimensions from an original and duplicate a given chain; or alternatively, sprockets can be made to fit a given crank and cam and a different modern chain used.

Kathy and I had a GREAT weekend at this year’s Gathering. We finally brought our Series 80 as we did not haul to Buellton. Thanks  to Dave and the entire Team for great tours and a great time. All your hard work was evident and the results speak for themselves!

I took a couple pics of the brake light switch on my ‘31 a series 43. Sent to your email address.
The switch fastens to a simple bracket on the crossmember near the brake cross-shaft. A small bracket clamps to the brake rod from the pedal to the cross rod; when the rod moves forward on brake application, it pulls on the rod passing through the switch through a spring.

Could this be the same Car that was used in Public Enemies?

Just spotted a black Pierce-Arrow sport sedan; 1931 or so, in the movie “Public Enemies”; being driven by “Melvin Purvis” in Chicago.

There was a maroon and black Series 80 coach in “Live By Night”.

They should have used a Packard; everyone knows bootleggers and roues drove Packards, and classy, old-money people owned Pierce-Arrows

Was happy to see this beauty again a few evenings ago.

the “bad guy” actually dared put his foot on the running board.

I think it’s possible that small items like the vanities were pressed into a metal mold until the glue set; just speculation.
