Hi everyone
Nice to be a member of forum.

I am trying to get a project Packard, perhaps a custom eight victoria, or the custom version to restore. for some it may be a spares car, but i really would like to give it ago. My first choice, 1940, 41, 42 convertibles may be too expensive for me to buy.
Can anyone help?

Yes sure would. I sent you a pm, did you get it ok? Any up to 1948 sounds good.

Is there a link where you can see the paint chips of 40s convertibles ?

I will leave this one alone. Can other 1940's convertibles projects be easy to obtain?

The one i looked at was on ebay. Is it correctly priced? A strange one. You must agree, this car is a mess, confused and completly mixed up. Its like 40's and 50' all slammed together. what was they thinking of? on a serious note, can this wreck be bought back to origional? or better look else where for others ones to restore?
link is

When restoring, i guess first job is get the body in good shape and resprayed. Then steam clean metal parts, rechrome if nessary. then find missing parts, and lastly get the machanicle side working as it should. I have given myself 5 years or so to get it done.

Is there a colour paint chip guide for packard? or duco, comb code number for car?

Thanks guys, you give me great hope. Yes of course Joe, no problem. In the next 10 years we hoping to relocate to Aruba, in the Dutch Carribean. Would be a nice car to show off there. Please tell me, is it a easy affair to download pictures ?

With the Packard convertible 1941 110 coup, what is the engine like? Do you guys get it pro cleaned ?

What colours are available for this model?

I am considering restoring a Packard Convertible 1941. My question is, How easy is it to get spare parts? And to get everything for the dashboard? Any hints when restoring?
