Actually thats a good question:
"Packard Parts and Service
Harry J Miller, Service Manager"

Curiously some of the receipts show 901 W. Main Peoria, Illinois, and also 1800 Main St, Peoria, both with the same phone number.
Mr William Huggins Mansfield, Detroit 35 appears to have bought the car June 14, 1956.

Early in '57 he appears to have moved, and theres receipts from Murphy Motor Sales Grand River, Michigan.

Must've had a hard life, both rockers were replaced, bumps fixed both front fenders etc: Paint and materials: $6.50, replacement rockers $13.00 etc...

BUT, most importantly, The SHOW OF THE CENTURY: University of New Mexico Stadium, nine performances, July 6-14: yep, you're invited to Alburquerque's 250th Anniversary 1956. I have the invite right here in my hand.... may have expired though, I wonder if he ever went?
