Yocum Estate Literature

When back up to Dan's House to recover another box of Literature that was uncovered. Probably the best box of the lot. Full of vintage Packard ads going back to the very beginning of Packardom. Also lots of ads, and brochure materials for Henney professional cars. Some of the pieces are oversized, so I need to scan them at work. So stay tuned as I try to get through scanning all the content.

I also helped the family organize some of the parts, and bought a few things to use on my '54. I bought a complete 55/(56?) power antenna (still in the box) that I intend to use on my '54 since it's 12v and the manual antennae that came on my '54 has a broken shaft. I also bought a set of reverse lights for '54 that were still in the box, and a mint perfect day/night rear view mirror. So couple of Packard optional accessories will get added to the Clipper. Just need to find the mounting template for the reverse lights mounting. Now that I got home I should have looked for a '54 Antenna switch, bezel, and knob while I was out there. Looks like I will be making at least one more trip. (160 miles round trip)

I did uncover a few 56 Caribbean trim parts, and some '41 window moldings. Also some v12 hubcaps. I think some of that stuff may end on eBay. I never realized how much Dan had until be started looking into the depths of his storage sheds.
