Tom I would love to have some more Pre-War stuff on the website. I see material available on ebay all the time. So I know it's out there. As much as I would to be able to buy it all and put it up on the website, unfortunately the pocketbook doesn't allow for that.
What Mark Buckely just did was buy several pieces off of ebay for his own personal collection. But instead of having the sellers send the pieces to his home, he had them ship the pieces to me first for scanning. Then I will send the pieces to back to his home at my expense. It's really a win, win situation. I just hope as more pre-war owners discover the website, that they will try to share some of their collection with the rest of us. None of us are getting any younger, and my greatest fear is that some of the material will be lost to the landfill as people pass-on, and their families just think that it's old magazines and junk. I would imagine that less than 20% of the Packard content that is out there is available in new reprinted form, or electronic format such as here. So it would be a shame to have it lost to the ages.

First place I'd try (for new ones) would be Ficken Wiper Service, out in Long Island I believe. Regular advertiser in Hemmings.

BIG KEVIN: The first photo in the 2007 PI unidentified photo section, is of a 1929 Packard Sports Phaeton.

Eric,
Try Dan Yocum in Sylmar, CA. He always seams to have lots of wiper arms and stuff for sale at the local Packard Swapmeets. He is very fair on his prices. Email: musicday55@aol.com Phone: 818-362-8255 Also try David Moe at Seattle Packards. He may have those parts. Email: dmoeenterprises@cs.com Phone: 425-334-7754
