Packard dealers and photos

Thought there might be some interested parties here for info on the old dealers. On a recent trip to my local upholstery guy we got talking about the clipper and he mentioned to me some uncles of his or cousins were involved with a NY packard dealership in coney island. He said the name was Packard Midwood motors. While getting the info of the V8 roster keeper I saw a listing for a dealer roster keeper which was quite surprising to me but I guess it should not have been given the diligence and detail of those in the Packard crowd. On my last visit with him I asked for more info and he said a family member had owned it or managed it back in the day. Knowing there might be some interest here I asked if he or anyone in the family may have pictures of the store front and any of the inside and would he like to donate them for the website. He said no and seemed to have less time to talk but upon a search ofthe list there was indeed a dealer there right where he said on coney is ave and ave n. He must have had personal knowledge of it as there is no way of those detailes coming right off the top of his head like that unless he had spent some time there. Small world. I tried for the pix as there are none here on the listing. PS to moderators- seems there are 3 dealers miss listed or typo on the list as the 3 between MT and NC are listed as newark new york and I had to of course go much farther down the list to find all the actual New York dealers and the Midwood motors listing. Sorry gents, but I did try for the pix.


Oh . Sorry, I did not know.
