Packard Forum Index » V-8 (1955-56)

Back in the winter someone here posted some parts for sale.
The person that posted it had once cut up a 55 or 56 year Model but he salvaged chunks of the rear & front fenders. I believe they were only asking $75 for each piece.

That's all I recall. I have been through the stuff for sale but can't seem to locate them.

My right rear fender has been shoved in a couple inches below the tail light. I'm thinking if the seller still has these parts them it would make my job a little easier.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I remember the post but may have part you need. I cut quarters off my Caribbean. Wheel well area was shot but tailight area was pretty decent.
How much do you need to repair yours.
Shipping would be biggest issue.
Give a call any evening at 814 248-9140 or send an email to rjrussell13@atlanticbb.net
Can send you a picture.
Free if you can use it but shipping and crating may be a problem. I'm in western PA about 60 miles east of Pittsburgh if you are headed to Hershey , Carlisle or the Nationals at Warren- stop and pick up.

Here some images of the area and damage that I am needing to repair/replace.

The last two images are of the left side for comparison.

I guess when the right side area was hit and pushed in it caused a leak around the tail light and it rusted pretty bad. The rust on the left side is no where near as bad.

I am only looking for the right side. I could probably fabricate it myself but it would take me weeks to do so. With the right car chunk it would be a lot easier.

I would encourage you to form patches and replace the existing metal. Mine was far worse and I had to also fabricate the "J" along the rear quarter. You should find it a real simple patch and far easier than trying to amputate and replace the existing.
