The Packard world definately needs new blood to encourage GOOD QUALITY and affordable reproduction parts in line with the prices of Chev and Ford re-pop parts.

PackardV8, much as we'd all like to see this happen, it just simply won't, it's a matter of demand. For every Packard there's 1000 Chevies or Fords, or more. Take for example the recent case where we had a chance to get good quality OEM-style pistons for the Packard V8 engines. We had a vendor and a reasonable price, but in the end only 4 or 5 people expressed a willingness to buy them. Not enough demand to justify the engineering and production.
