Hi Michael

Sorry for replying so late. I will take some pictures of the sill area tonight and post them tomorrow.

Regarding South African Packards. As far as I know, it was distributed here in Johannesburg by Leon Motors in the inner city from around the early 30's? I will try to find out some more info. There is not a lot of Packards in South Africa left. I know a few guys with wonderfull restored cars, but it is not something I have ever seen, even at big classic auto shows. some of the cars especially limos were used by government ministers as well as some town mayors. Would be nice to get more info on this. Obviously Packard was only driven by the very wealthy as South Africa was mostly a poor rural kind of country with bad gravel roads in the farming areas. As far as is know my 50 is the only running survivor in South Africa.
