Packard Forum Index » General

I was going through some of the old posts looking for info, and noticed that some of the folks that were very vocal here haven't logged on in a year, or up to 10 years. Just curious if we had lost a few of our folks here or if they just moved on. A couple of names I used to see all the time and disappeared:

Packard53
PackardV8
55PackardGuy
Turbopackman
paintdaddy
Drake
Fred
Paul Weeks
foxhole
Joe Douglas
Hobbs
Gregor

Due to unresolved differences of opinion with some people from PAC, Packard53 not only left this site, but sold his 53. He is presently enjoying an 87 Corvette convertible and his 66 Chevelle, which received an engine overhaul - thanks to the proceeds from the sale of his Packard.

I used to trade email privately with PackardV8, but fell out of touch with him and several others in the hobby as I got drawn into the black hole of my elderly parents health issues.

Turbopackman left the site due to differences with another member. He had also been posting, concurrently, on The H.A.M.B. board, but seems to have left that site, as well. He got into Studebakers for awhile, posting at the SDC forum, but has been off the radar since 2010. No idea what became of the 48 that he retrofitted with cane shifter, but he seemed to appreciate the original owner's manual that I gave him.

Hobbs sold his '33 Eight Sedan back in 2012.

Thanks for the updates. Just curious how some of the members here were up to that I hadn't seen around in awhile.

All the best to them.
