Thanks Guys for the Responses.

This year's Packard Meet in Des Moines is only 270 miles away from me in Sioux Falls. So, I really want to go. The 2009 Nat'l Meet in Branson, MO is about 500 miles. I will try to go there too. (My brother lives just 50 miles north of there). I enjoyed the MN Packard Club Tech Wksp last Nov. I want to go on their tours in Aug and Oct. They are good people.
Clipper 47 - I think MN hosted the Nat'l you went to in Mpls.

Owen - I am not having my car judged at Des Moines. I will show it, however. Also, I want to go the the roster keepers meeting. That sounds like an education. JD Vickers emailed me with a lot of helpful info and questions when I first registered my car with Packard Club.

I also want to find out if my Clipper color is a repro of Flare Taupe Metallic. JD Vickers thinks it is. I have found no paint chip for it on the 1941 color samples. Flare Taupe was a 1941 year color ONLY. It is listed on Packard Info website too. Packard premixed it at the factory. It could be bought by dealers, but premixed. As a result NONE of the 1941 paint chip pages from Ditzler Color Company or DuPont show the Flare Taupe sample chip.

So Packard1, as you say, I have got lots to stand around the parking lot and yack about (or Pack about), whatever.

Thanks again for your responses.

I will pass along on this website any good stuff I come across.

OH, Big Kev, Are you taking pictures at Des Moines? I know you went all out on Warren photos.

Later
