Mal, while we're at it... would it be possible to correct the model name in the drop-down list to show "Station Sedan" instead of "Station Wagon"?

Thanks

Some time (years) ago, the Owner Registry function was revised with intent to make data entry easier and the entries more uniform, by following the site's Model Info nomenclature.

So, the misuse of the term "Wagon" traces directly back to the Model Info pages for the following Body Numbers:

2293 - Standard Eight Station Wagon
2293-9 - Standard Eight Station Wagon
2393-5 - Eight Station Wagon
2393 - Eight Station Wagon

Although I didn't build the content for these pages, I am able to edit them (and have since done so) to reflect the terminology "Station Sedan" as used in factory literature. These changes took effect immediately and are also reflected, automatically, in the search results by Year and Series, since those pages are dynamically generated from the Model Info database.

However, while the drop-down lists for Owner Registry add/edit forms were also derived from that same database, I'm not sure that those lists will be updated automatically. Else, they will require recoding by hand by BigKev. Also, the existing Registry entries for such models will have to be edited manually, by Mal.

Brian,
Thanks for taking the time to fix it. The drop down list did reflect the update dynamically.

Mal,
Except for an early, manually entered item, there are five existing items in the Owner data base that are showing 'Wagon'.

Brian,

Thanks for your updates.

JD,

Existing entries updated!

And and tubmarty for including your '49 Custom Eight Victoria Convertible Coupe in the Packard Owner's Registry.

Thanks Mal. It's appreciated.

Mal is there a way to put more than 1 picture in the registry?

BDC, Not that I know of, not being "tech savvy". But, in saying that, I do see a number of members have done so. Maybe if you addressed this directly with them, as to how they did it, you might get a positive answer?

Thanks, great to be here.

and jlw for including your '54 Clipper Super Touring Sedan in the Packard Owner's Registry. Chuckled when I read your "EXTERIOR DESCRIPTION".

and nagahdoa for including your '41 One-Twenty 4-Door Touring Sedan in the Packard Owner's Registry. Interesting feature with the extra front bumper over-riders. Were the outside pair with the horizontal bars fabricated from a centre pair with grill guard bars?
