O_D, good to have this information. Have you captured any data on Briggs body numbers from the 1941-42 traditional styled Packards? I should go back and read your articles on this subject.

I recall reading that Packard built a 100,000 sq.ft. facility for the Merlin contract in record time to get the badly needed engines to England. Much activity going on at Packard in those months before the U.S. entered the war.
