At the end of this info on the "Coachbuilt" website (below) there are a number of references cited for further reading on Pullman. Obviously the books on automobile manufacturers will be the best sources for info on Pullman bodies on cars. I have browsed Kimes' "The Classic Era" and "Packard - a History of the Motor Car and the Company" and the only refrence to Pullman that I saw was on page 225 (1st Edition) of the latter, a statement "Though the public was not told, many bodies for the 116 and some open versions of the Twin Six were produced by the Pullman Company....". Perhaps others will browse the some of the other texts.http://www.coachbuilt.com/bui/p/pullman/pullman.htm

A better source might be an article from Spring 1974 issue of "The Packard Cormorant", I should have this issue and if so will pull it out later; though posting it here would be a copyright issue, I could photocopy and mail to you. The article is " The Pullman Packards" by George W. Boon, Spring 1974, beginning on page 10.

Perhaps the best contact to make would be coachwork historian Walt Gosden who writes the regular column "Coachwork Lines" in Hemmings Classic Car (and in the CCCA Bulletin before that), he's been publishing this column for over 25 years. Walt's a member of CCCA and PAC you could find his contact info in either of the those membership directories.
