Re: Want a parts car for our 1946 Packard

I cannot help with a parts car but as to any model supplying the parts you need, depending on exactly what is needed that may be wishful thinking. I would suggest you specify you are looking for another 2 door since a lot of sedan parts will not fit. 2 door models seem to be in higher demand than sedans to the point basket cases have been restored so it may be harder or more expensive to find one in bad enough shape that parting is the only option. With your car missing so many pieces it almost sounds like that could have been the fate of all those pieces that are probably now in previously restored 2 doors.

Dash parts will be the same on all as will some of the other minor parts but there is quite a bit of difference between the coupe and sedan interiors in just about everything else. Seats, length and shape of interior chrome pieces are only a start.
