Packard Forum Index » V-8 (1955-56)

Does anyone know the owner of this car I believe he lives in Las Vegas Nevada. I would like to ask him a question about his 1956 Executive i looked in the Packard club directory but didn't see his name inside anyway a picture of him and his car are attached. Either a phone number or an email address would be great.

Craig here on the website knows him well. I've been to his place once a few years ago.

There are also several photos and details on Paul's car at Craig's 56 Panther Project site.http://www.1956packardpanther.com/PaulExec/PaulProject_Index.html

I know i visit his website often I just have a specific question to ask him about his car-where did he get the A/C vents pictured below.

Well look what I found on ebay-these A/C vents came off of a 1963 Chrysler Imperial. When i talked to Paul he stated them were from a Chrysler but i thought he said 1953. Maybe I heard him wrong but anyway I went on Ebay and put 1953 Chrysler A/C vents not expecting to find them but the search brought up these from a 1963 imperial they will have to be chromed but I only paid $100 for all three!!!!!!!

Good find and it should look nice in your car even if not stock. Later Imperials had rear A/C as an add-on to the dash A/C and my 1965 Imperial LeBaron has dual air. Apparently another option was a trunk-mounted heater and there's one on eBay now (first one I ever saw) but it wasn't available with the rear A/C since they occupied the same space. Note that in spite what eBay says, there is no such thing as a 1963 Chrysler Imperial. Imperial from 1955 forward was a separate make and not a model of Chrysler! It's like saying Ford Lincoln or GM Cadillac.
