Re: NJ Packard Dealership - Dover

Some of the building are still standing. Rice Motors in Hackensack is now a skating rink. The McGuire dealership in Ridgewood is, I believe, still active as a dealership or at least it was as of a few years ago. I believe the dealership in Englewood's building is now part of Benzel-Bush's Mercedes-Benz facility. You might consider getting in touch with Jim Pearsall, a very serious Packard historian, who also lives in NJ and has had a long-standing interest in the dealerships and their buildings. He's photographed many of them and occasionally contributes pictures and articles to various publications, last one I recall was in the Metro region of the CCCA's local publication, though he has made many other contributions.

You might find the enclosed interesting, image courtesy of Jim Pearsall; I've posted w/o asking his permission but hopefully he won't object.
