What's up KK

My first Packard was a 51 200. Bought it in Woodland Hills, had it towed back to the Woood, not the Hollywood, Inglewood! That's been a lifetime ago, I'm a respectable citizen these days. Ha!

You should be able to get dash lamp bulbs nearly anywhere. You can get the holders fromYNZ Yesterdays Parts, they are in state.http://www.ynzyesterdaysparts.com/

Far as the drivers side window, pull the old one, and take to a glass shop that cuts laminate glass for cars. Ask for the old piece back so you can make sure they cut it exactly right, otherwise you may get one that won't fit quite right.

Far as T/S glass and emblems, you could try Custom Auto Servicehttp://www.customautoservice.com/ These guys are local, and good to deal with. Of course a want ad here, or look on EBay.

You can get tires at Coker Tirehttp://www.cokertire.com/ They have just what you need.

Far as Pomona (you asked in another thread) I haven't been in about 7 - 8 years. Normally, there is very little Packard there. You never know, though, go and take a look.


KK, your alright! Anyone who has his own Packard pit crew, and Packard show girl got it goin on!
