There are several woodgraining companies in the U.S.
Woodgrain Specialists, Littlestown, PA 717-359-4597
Woodgraining by Bill Gratkowski, Titusville, PA 814-827-1782
Woodgrain by Estes, Lafayette, IN 765-490-5634

We have had two dashboards done by Estes, and consider their work top notch, perhaps the best.

Speaking of postwar coachbuilders, while I know that Rollson didn't build any cars after WWII, I just found an auction notice about their complete facility being auctioned off in Plainview New York on October 15-16. Is Rollson now defunct?

It's obvious that he is not looking for $79,000. Give it a rest. He's trying to part out the car.

Is Rollson still in business? I just found this:

There's a picture of a 1938 AND a 1940 panel brougham in Hugo Pfau's book. What kind of information is he looking for? Does he know if it's a Super Eight or a Junior?

The cost of the '41 Clipper was priced slightly more than the 120; $1,291 for the 120 vs $1,420 for the Clipper, a difference of $119. However, the Clipper was priced $589 below the 160 at $2,009.
A/C was unusual for the model 120s AND Clippers.

If my memory serves me right, I have seen one 1940 Packard with a/c with the "air conditioned" trim. I believe it was on the side-mount cover, but I'd really be stretching my memory as far as the exact location.That would have been about 25 years ago. The car was owned by Jim Kaufman in Atlanta.

The same person who owns the 1941 Clipper with a/c also owns the 1942. I talked with him yesterday, and found out that the 1942 is not the 120 Clipper that we owned for several years.
That would make three known 1942 120 Clippers that were factory-equipped with a/c.

The whereabouts of the Packard that we owned is still unknown. It is not listed in any Packard directory. I suppose it's possible that it was parted out just for the a/c, which would have been a crime as it was a very solid and original 38,000-mile car.

If anyone knows where this car might be today, I sure would like to know. Its original color was dark blue, and we sold it to a man in Ohio in 1988.
Interestingly, the "Air Conditioned" plate on this car was actually ON the hood as opposed to the fender as mentioned on another car above. That is not unusual, as there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for where those plates were located on all a/c equipped cars. Some of them were located on the side-mount cover (Senior Cars), some were on the panel between the fender and hood (Senior cars) some were vertical part of the fender (junior cars) and like this one, on the hood itself. Also, some a/c cars did not get the plates at all

I would like to know who currently owns it.
Thanks.

"There is also an air conditioned 41-120 Coupe here in Dallas with a well known collector, who also has an original a/c 42-120 Clipper. "

I wonder if that 1942 120 is the one we used to own. Do you know what color it is?
