Kev -

Not what I was expecting, but my examples were at the minimalist end - as I wasn't sure how far you were willing to go with this. Instead, you got a little fancy with it, and the extra work shows!

Your choice of format and data for the image titles looks good. Yet, I'm glad that you didn't simply split the tag data between Title and Description, but included the tag data in its entirety in the Description.

I had thought about field labels for the Description, but kept mum on that. Now, together with the thumbnails, the field labels do wonders for the Gallery listings in the Photo Archive. For the most part, the info was all there in the old titles, but I think it will be much easier for layperson to follow.

My goal in providing you with that spreadsheet was simply to offer data that could be parsed as you see fit and clean up any redundant entries.

So, I will leave it up to others to comment on any further changes. I'm sure there will be some, but hope that any proponents look at this work from all angles - not just one entry or a group of similar entries - so that we retain uniformity across all of the material card entires.

Meanwhile, with about 600 application listings for Bulk Trim in the 48-54 parts book and just over 300 in the 55-56 edition, we don't have 100% coverage - even with the 200 additional application that Brian (BDeB) is working on.

However, I consider it a real blessing that we have this much info - nearly 55 years after the last Packard rolled off the assembly line in Detroit. Today's vehicle sure do pale in comparison to the rich variety of colors, textures, and weaves and the tasteful combinations of trim that Packard offered us all those years ago.
