Mal -

Thanks for helping promote PackardInfo.com in the land down-under.

I think the success of this site has a lot to do with the fact that it is completely independent of (and not beholding to) any club, yet open to anyone with a genuine interest in keeping the Packard name on the road. Although there are many Packard owners who are not online, getting the word out in print might give them reason to do so.

However, I hope newcomers realize that, as much as this site has to offer in only its second year, the development work is ongoing. This is a very dynamic site. BigKev has several ideas for new features and cross-linking some existing ones for better utilization. I'm still in the midst of scanning the 1955-56 parts book, and have several other pieces I'd like to contribute on the V8s, but I have a couple ideas for additional features that enthusiasts might enjoy.

So, I hope site visitors - both new and old - will continue to contribute scans of any info that we don't have to help connect the dots. Then, as we cover most of those bases, perhaps more original articles will be contributed to help fill in what the factory missed.

P.S. - Did you notice the new counter that was recently added to the Owner Registry page?
