The Request was also featured in the Winter 1976 issue of PAC's The Packard Cormorant ; past issues are only available back to 1978 but if you send a PM with your mailing address I'll photocopy the article and mail to you.
As a last resort, you can find the issue of
The Packard Cormorant with the Request on eBay. Likewise for the
Collectible Automobile. But the magazine aside from
TPC with the most stuff from those days with the car was first being restored was
"Car Classics" magazine. Again, locatable the same way.
RE: duplicating the Request... Any serious duplication would be quite intricate and costly. Just the grille alone consisted of a lot of very complicated rippled and bent strips of heavy metal. Then there is the massive casting of the hood... and then you're still left with the issue of the huge, heavy dual front bumpers and then after you've cast them, there is the plating.
