Packard is an excellent example of a classic vintage vehicle. A common issue and repair that we can take care of for you is the downfall of the electrical system. The wiring insulation can start to deteriorate, becoming brittle and cracking over time, which leads to shorts and electrical failures. Another repair that needs to be addressed is the issue of the generator and voltage regulator. The generator and voltage regulator can fail, leading to charging system problems.
Water pump failures are also common. If the water pump fails, it can lead to cooling issues. Additionally, the cooling system can start to deteriorate over time. If you observe a leak in the radiator, check to see if it has developed any noticeable cracks or is blocked, which can cause overheating. If you find any signs of concern, you should bring your Packard to Hinsdale so we can address the issue and ensure its longevity.
If you notice that the brakes in your Packard are starting to malfunction, please call us as soon as possible. The brake shoes and drums can wear out, reducing braking effectiveness.
