I'm not very familair with these cars, but production figures are also available, right here at PackardInfo - in the Model Info feature (see the Main Menu, at left). Just drill your way down to your specific model - "2279-9".

Hmm, I wonder, now, if we should research and add an engine color(s) field to those pages or whether that area is effectively covered by Packard International's judging/restoration guide.

I believe Bill Hirsch Auto offers upholstery material by the yard for cars of this period; you might check their website.

Steele Rubber has reproduced a lot of rubber parts for Packard and other brands, but I'm not sure what you mean by pads between chassis and frame. However, they have a website with an illustrated, online catalog.

Hope this helps get you pointed in the right direction.
