Have you checked at a auto trim supply in your area for a close match. My 57 chevy original material was $85 a yard I matched it close at the auto trim shop here in OKC at $8.99 yd. Keep checking around someone has a close match. My cars are drivers not show cars. No trailer queens at my house. lol

Merry Christmas to all my Packard friends. Here is my 1950s American Flyer and Lionel train set. Started out with one track level and now its a three levels. My winter's project.

Where does the jack handle and jack store at, does it have a bag?

Ed did my easamatic last year, it works great.

Ok I went to the paint x ref on here for the code Polaris blue. Called the local paint shops in Oklahoma city. Its a no go here for anyone mixing the paint with the codes. Auto color library , which is TCP global custon paint store has a code 10953 for the polaris blue. They want $155.95 a gallon. I can get a gallon of light blue acrylic enamelat the local paint stores off their color chart for $85. Don't know if any will be a perfect match for the Polaris blue any Ideas. I'm not cheap , but a dollar is a dollar now days.

Yes I want to know the color combo too. Nice

I want one, no two. Nice find.

I tried to find the same material here in okc at the trim shops but nothing avail. Here is what I did to my 53 patrician door panels. Its a driver not a show car. I'm thinking about adding some buttons where the old one were at the bottom of the door panel.

I am taking apart my extra packard 288 engine. Here is what I found on the crankshaft. 288 389604 and this $ G. Whats the money sign mean??

I am redoing the door panels. Can't find the original material so here is what I went with. The before and after panels. I still need to put buttons in the lighter blue material at the bottom. The packard factory paint is two tone blue , dark blue top light blue bottom.I think this will be pretty, can't wait to do the seats this winter. My buddies and I put my industrial sewing machine in my living room, gosh I love the single life. ha Who's wife would let that happen????
