Yes that would be correct.Custom painting and restoration was before and after body shop time.but its funny if you fixed a 67 Camaro in 1970 it was just a repair today its a restoration. same techniques different time. I am still doing it professionally in my shop with over 30 national awards. But its about people that get a business licence [or not]and hang a sign and instantly become all knowing and the unaware crown them as gods.

That's 3 to 400 cars per month managing a mega body shop for 25 years plus 25 years of restoring and fabricating antique and classic cars and hand fabricating an exact replica of a classic. I did the math correct.

I understand after over 50 years and being responsible for over 100,000 restorations from new Rolls Royce's to 1920's cars. I still walk into work everyday and I am still amazed at how much I still have to learn. While the guy down the street and his crew of self proclaimed experts have the insight to know everything. Do you think this topic might be a hot button for me.

I am very familiar with the car. cust. talked to me about fixing it a couple of months ago. [after the show.] good adage to live by. DON,T BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU HEAR AND ONLY HALF OF WHAT YOU SEE. just saying.

I am new to Packard and this forum I just acquired a 1940 Packard 180 custom super 8 touring sedan 1351-2xxx car is in need of a major restoration. The vin. plate has the # on it but all of the other information has been faded off and it appears that the place of origin was never stamped. Is their a way to research a vehicles history or have all of the records been destroyed.
