Re: [Chrysler300] FW: 1955 packard Clipper 'Constellation'

Hi Bill,

I purchased a 6 volt Optima last week through a distributor in Corona, CA  for $128.95.

12 volt Optima's are available at Costco for about $100.00, out here anyway.  To my knowledge there is no box to hide their different appearance.

FYI:  If you are going to be using a battery box keep in mind that the Packard Club offers (2) choices.  The more expensive one that looks like a tar top battery has the post in the opposite corners of the standard 6 volt batteries used in Chryslers.  The other box that is offered is simply a black box, but the post locations are in the correct position and it is about $20.00 less as I remember.  I noticed that your e-mail stated '55 Packard, so if this is what you are trying to place the battery in everything could be different.

I have two of these in current use in the '55 Imperial and T&C.  YnZ made different cables to accommodate the change.

  Dear Bill,

  Thank you for considering us for an Optima battery- We have discontinued
  carrying them due to the very high price of them- We still recommend them
  however, and I believe you will find them at an Interstate Battery dealer.

  Thank you,

  Bill Hirsch
