Well swap meet was good this morning and it is always a nice little turnout. Several Packards were in attendance (pictures to follow soon).

Mal, call the PI main office and ask to speak to "Cal". While he doesn't have a complete engine snubber, he does have one side or the other. You just have to call him a tell him which side you need to see if that if the side he has. You will just have to replace the rubber portion. But the metal should be in good shape. Thats the only lead I was able to find on that. Everyone else told me "good luck". I was told that people would just throw them away when the rubber rotted out as they would drag under the car, and as such there is no more supply of them unless it comes off a parts car.

Now for the website, I tapped into my Packard parts fund, and was able to secure the 1936, 1938, 1939, 1940, 1941, 1943 Service Letters. Of which the '36, '38, '41, '43 are originals. Don't ask how much I paid for them. It wasn't cheap, but the it was a good deal for the website. Also the gentleman I bought all the service letters from from in extra photo copies of the '51 and '55 Service Counselors. So hopefully it may contains some of the missing pieces we need.

Also the PI San Diego Chapter donated the 1941-1957 Shell Accessory Cross Reference and Lube Charts to the website.

Good stuff for the website, but my poor '54 will have to wait a bit longer for needed parts.

Look for all the content to get scanned and up on the website over the next couple of days. Also for those that send me pictures and emails over the last week I will be getting through all of that today. Thanks for your patience.
