Cli55er bought some of the doors but don't know if he also bought paneling. He is the only forum member who posted photos of what he purchased that I can remember right off but am sure there were others who bought. As I recall the stuff did sell out but don't remember how long it took. There was also a fund raising project with the wood floor being cut into small squares and sold as mementos.

Quite a regular

If I remember correctly, the paneling in the executive offices was walnut. I think it was sold off in the '90's...I think the showroom stairs went then, also. PB
I remember Kanter selling pieces of factory floor in the '80's, but that was from the Ohio factory.

Those posts were made several years before I became a member here and I don't recall ever seeing them. In fact, I own the domain name authenticpackard.com (and .net, .org and .us) but have never put a site there. I didn't know it had such a history!

The floor sample I have was sold much later than the 80s. It is actual E. Grand Avenue factory flooring. As I recall the small samples were sold as part of the Packard Proving Grounds foundation fund raising when one of the first restoration projects was just starting. Someone else might know if any of the flooring blocks still exist or anyone interested might find out if the blocks or any current project is in the works by contacting Bruce Blevins.

The creosote-covered wood bricks indeed covered parts of the East Grand Blvd. factory floor. These pieces were not cut into samples– at least not the one pictured here or the ones I saw. I once owned several boxes of these wood bricks when Packard Properties (the company that once owned the plant) allowed me to have them back in the early 1970s. Once upon a time there was a flooring system of creosote-covered wood bricks. These were used as a floor covering that muted noise, cushioned machinery and provided a softer surface (than poured reinforced concrete) for workers. This durable system was in many Detroit factories– including Packard Motor Car Company. I brought many of these blocks back to Southern California and donated them to the Earle C. Anthony region of the Packard Club in the early 1970s. We cleaned the blocks, added large PAC medallions on them and gave them away as awards. One went to Dutch Darrin. I took w photo of Dutch holding it. I still have a few remaining in my collection along with other factory items I saved long ago...
