and to Esquireman for including his '56 Caribbean Convertible Coupe in the Packard Owner's Registry. Very interesting story attached!

and to Clayton, ccrizor, for including his '54 Pacific Hardtop in the Packard Owner's Registry.

and Jim McDermaid for including his '54 Cavalier Touring Sedan in the Packard Owner's Registry.

and Cal for including his '25 Eight Sedan Limousine in the Packard Owner's Registry.

Interesting history and see that Cal has a question in the "Other Information" section of his entry, maybe someone can help him? I'll kick things off by saying that the number "On right rear floor = 241-649" may indicate it's a '24 241 Single Eight Sedan Limousine or that part of the car has a connection to one.

Back on 30th October I said "....welcome: and to Dave and Shelley for including their '37 One Twenty Touring Sedan in the Packard Owner's Registry...." and on 5th December this "....news of a '39 Twelve heading to Oz!....I haven't yet asked Dave to add the Twelve to the Packard Owner's Registry, must make sure I do that!...."

Well I didn't need to nudge Dave and Shelley to put the Twelve into the Packard Owner's Registry because they did so today. In fact, it appears they were so keen to do so they actually entered it 3 times! I've deleted two entries and left this one for their '39 Twelve Sedan Limo. And a question to Dave and Shelley, what's the significance of the picture used?

and packard patrician for including his '54 Patrician Touring Sedan in the Packard Owner's Registry. Great photo featuring the owner, like it!

Hi,

I need some help to add my dad's car to the database. It's a 1938 Packard by Franay. The problem is we can't find the serie in the list. It's a 1602 model coupe chauffeur (which I think is called a town car in English).
Do you have any suggestion ?

Thanks,

Sophie

Sophie, our Australien registrar will help you as soon as possible. Unfortunately it is now 5 o'clock in the morning in his neck of the woods.

After some correspondence with Cal I finally realised that he already had his Packard in the Registry! Have updated the original entry, which also includes a pic, and deleted the recent entry.

Quote:Sophie,
for agreeing to register your Dad's '38 Franay. The drop down lists are populated with factory information useful for the vast majority of PackardInfo members but not for those with truly custom bodied Packards. Because of this, not readily solved "defect", I propose a work around by you creating an entry as close as you can to that required then modifying it to suit. Do this by completing the Registry Submission screen with:

YEAR: 1938
SERIES: 16th
MODEL: Use the drop down list here to select a style as close to the one you require

Then complete the remaining fields in as much detail as possible, including a pic please.

After clicking on the Add to Registry button, at the bottom of the submission screen, your entry will be populated in the Register. Then go back into the entry by clicking on the "Make Changes" field at the bottom of the entry and edit the Model information to properly reflect your Dad's Franay. Does your Dad have any paperwork which would help in properly describing the car?

Phew! Should work, but if there are any problems just yell!!! Either by posting in this thread, or by PM, or by email to ozstatman AT SIGN gmail.com.

I was up at 5:00am this morning, saw the post, but had another obligation to attend to, taking my eldest son and his wife to the airport or I would have responded earlier. After all, how much can a Koala bear?
