Howard, Kev -- I've sung this fellow's praises before, but
Armand Annereau, Armand's Auto Upholstery, Walnut Creek, CA
1 (925) 934-4373, is a fourth-generation auto upholstery shop
established in 1 8 9 7, specializing in Packards.

Armand's owned and owns Packard pre- and postwar, has the
big upholstery sample books Packard issued only to their larger urban dealers for every year. If a fabric is available from any mill on the planet, Armand has already
sourced it, has it in stock or can get it. He's done
work for the nearby Behring/Blackhawk Auto Museum/Collection,
show winners at every concours from Silverado and Palo Alto to Rabble Beach, and is the one other judges turn to for an
obscure question on authenticity in any Packard.

A friend took his '36 Cord Westchester to Armand and he
got the stitches straighter than the Connersville factory.

Armand speaks fluent Packard and then some. His prices
reasonable and you may have found that people who know our cars don't always charge more than generic or boat cover shops
who dabble.

Tell him a black '47 Super Clipper in Walnut Creek sent you.
