Looks nice.

to long term member Bob Supina for including his '37 Super Eight Touring Sedan in PackardInfo's Packard Vehicle Registry.

Bob, I notice the car is RHD with chromed headlight buckets, are there more details of its early history, prior to 1968, you can share?

I will edit this in the next few days and add a story about the car.

Bob, looking forward to seeing the story.

Sorry, that I haven't been updating this thread for the past couple of weeks or so. Have had "computer problems", now mostly resolved, allowing me to return to the "fold", ie PackardInfo.

In the time since, although I have not been conjoling Forum Members to include their Packards in the Registry, I am pleased and heartened that many have chosen to do so.
Due to the number of additions, I am not going to "acknowledge" them individually but nevertheless offer my for their doing so.

Consequently "normal transmission" will henceforth resume.

Welcome back, Mal! We missed you!
