He mentions his time with packard, and briggs that was making Packard doors.

I wonder what era he was speaking of, and if his memory wasn't failing a bit. Briggs made more than doors, they made the entire body between 1941 and 1954. It was Budd who made the doors in the beginning of the 120 production. I don't know for how long Budd continued in the picture. There was a really good picture posted on this site some months back of a rusting hulk of an early 120, an alleged Capone car, where the Budd trademark was quite clear on an inner door stamping.

Or is my memory failing too?
