'55 400 Trunk Now Done

Gents,

I've finally got the trunk done on the 400. I can't believe how far she has come along! I pinch myself when I think about the (10) year journey I've taken. My greatest regret is that Mitch, my deceased father in law who got me into Packards can't be here to see the 400! I've been mindful during the journey to do it the best I can for him.

Attached are pics of the trunk! I dropped it off last last to an old fellow that has (50) years of experience. I purchased "original looking material" for 9 dollars a yard vs. $45 and $85 I was quoted for "original" material. In fact the "original" swabs that were sent to me were NOT original! They looked 1955 BUT were NOt 1955! I thus chose to go the less expensive way and get it "close" as possible. My hope is to have her at her first local car show this Saturday evening in Tucson at the Little Anthony's car show! I'm excited but ever mindful that all of you have helped me along the way many times.

Thanks all. I'll post more pics over time. PACKARDINFO.Com Rules!
