Mr Bumble,

I want to thank you for your posting. It made me look for and at my files.

It is frustrating trying to track down history of the cars wee own. I have tried on most of the cars I own, but not much luck.

My MAC Caribbean, I tracked down the name on the title I had for the car. He bought the car in 1973 from a Dr in Eastman GA, drove it to Seal Beach California. He moved it to Portales NM in 1989.

I contacted Mr. Jenkins by letter, included a self-addressed envelope, and he replied back to me. Told me he had the original transmission, and some service books free for the taking. So I drove from Fort Worth to Portales, NM. When I arrived, I new I was in trouble, I asked to use his bathroom, and when I came out his first question to me was did he remember to flush the toilet! Needless to say we could not find the transmission, after looking allover the place. I did get another parts book, but very frustrating!

I did contact Channing S Jun, M.D. in Eastman Georgia. He he owned more than one Packard, so he did not give me much information, other than it was deemed to expensive to restore.

BUT,

The most interesting thing is a note from Mr Jenkins to the man I bought the car from, was that He was told that the car came from Chicago!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,

COULD my car be this onehttps://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=8846&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&type=&mode=0&start=0
