I'm guessing that you want this in order to have a fabricator make a door post from scratch. What if you were to talk to a machine shop that has CNC fabrication cabability? If a shop has the right equipment, knows how many pieces need to be stamped and welded together, and has all of the measurements, they can input the numbers into the equipment and then stand back as the equipment can cut a die set out of solid stock. Once you've got the die set(s), you can start looking for a firm that can stamp the pillar.

It wouldn't be cheap to do; but if there would be a market for that pillar among Packard enthusiasts perhaps you could eventually recoup the cost of having the die set designed and made by manufacturing door pillars and selling them to Packard fans.
