Don, you should be able to edit the Clipper now.

PackardDon,
for including your the '53 2633 Commercial Junior Chassis in the Packard Vehicle Registry.

Thank you but as stated, it’s not mine and I selected the checkbox that it isn’t. I kept the entry in my name while waiting for the anti-theft and engine numbers.

Looks like the Henney, in Post #865, above is for sale as per this thread in the AACA Forums.

Thanks to Paul (r1lark) who saved the records from his family's Packard dealership(s) in Hempstead and Merrick Long Island, 1120 additional vehicles (1949-1958) have been added to the Registry for historical reference.

The info, I thought was interesting from how many cars were transferred between other dealers and the 49s that got returned to Packard for renumbering.

That info is contained in the Vehicle History section.

Thanks again Paul!

If anyone else has dealer vehicle records and would like to share them for the "permanent record" please let me know!

A little background to this sudden increase in Registry numbers.

It came about after Paul(r1lark) messaged me, advising "My family had a Packard Dealership (Packard Hempstead) in Hempstead, Long Island, New York from 1949 thru 1956, (and then Studebaker/Packard in a different location) and I have put all the new car sales records in an Excel file. There are about 1100 Packard new car sales listings from '49 thru '58." After referring Paul's advive to Kev, Kev then advised "....be prepared for a significant jump in the number of cars the Registry." That it certainly did, 1,119 more entries to be exact!
A HUGE to both Paul and Kev for bolstering Registry entries so significantly.

When Paul contacted me it wasn't with the intention of adding all these Packards to the Registry. Rather it was to see whether a comparison program could be run to see if any of the cars on Pauls list show up as cars listed in the Registry. If there were any matches, Paul would then be able to supply the current owners with the original purchasers names/addresses, being part of the information he had.

Just a quick follow-up to Kevin's and Mal's posts just above. First, thanks to Kevin for doing the comparison of my family dealerships' new sold cars database versus the Owner Registry database. Unfortunately there were no matches......not unexpected due to the fact that Long Island at that time used a lot of salt on the roads in the winter.

Also, thanks to Mal for the great job he does keeping the Owner Registry up, and searching out cars to be added!

Thanks guys!

Tom_F,
to PackardInfo and for including your '37 One Twenty Convertible Coupe in the Packard Vehicle Registry.

It's interesting to see how the statistical percentages change and shift as more and more cars are added to the Registry.
