G'day PACKARDPOWER,
And
to PackardInfo. I'd like to invite you to include your Packard in the Owner Registry here together with a pic, any known history and how you acquired it.
Regarding the repro data plates ,I understand that they come up on eBay from time to time. And I also had some email correspondence with PACA & PAckardInfo member BarrySmith earlier this year on this subject. I tried to get Barry to post it directly on PackardInfo at the time and I'm sure he won't mind me including an edited version of it here.
Barry's original email:
"Attatched is an ID plate from Pulfer and Williams that I arranged whilst at Hershey. This fits 50's Packards, I am not sure exactly what years. The "old" one is from my 51. Interestingly, they apparently have never made this particular plate before. Anyhow, they made 50, I guess this means they have 49 in stock! They are priced at $25 ea.
Pulfer and Williams have changed owners. Contact can now be made as follows
LaVine Restorations/Pulfer and Williams
349 Beech Road
Nappanee IN 46550
Telephone 574/773-7561
I guess you already know, they make just about every ID plate found on Packards. I also purchased plates for starter motor and generator.
Perhaps you might like to post this on "THE FORUM"
Barry"
And my reply:
"Barry, Perhaps you might like to post this on "THE FORUM" - Perhaps, BUT, it would be a whole lot better if you did .
I don't want to steal your thunder with this......I say "go for it" and if there's a problem give me a call and we'll work through it together.
Plus WHEN you post I'll jump in and put the hard word on you to put your Packards in the Owner Registry there. You have been warned! LOL"
As you'll also see I "harass" people to include their Packards in the Owner Registry, including the guys I know personally, sometimes with positive results sometimes not.
