Want to buy. An interior rear view mirror for a 36 Packard Senior. From what I can tell it was oval with a three screw base.

Thanks,
Lee

Sounds scammy so watch out!

Allen Strong is not scammy

Not even close!

I said “sounds” - someone new popping in with just the right rare part always sounds scammy because it usually is.

Don,

With all due respect, you have been spreading shade or inferences recently on several decades-established Packard aficionados. This stifles forum members from participating if they are sniped at...possibly consider Private Messaging the so-called "offenders" offline with your doubts to convince yourself, first, that they seem shady.

I sent some constructive advice after your other comment on the CL Pickings thread at:
packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb ... 2534&post_id=279639#forumpost279639

Please at least click on a users name and poke around to learn who they are before you "brand" them "scammy" or questionable. Maybe spend the time you use to type these comments possibly asking the "selling" person, via a forum posted question, for additional information on behalf of the seeker and actually be a mensch to the parts-seeker and help guide them.

Someone quickly responding to an available part is mostly a hobbyist who is happy to help someone avoid paying Ebay markup...btw, that is what this forum is for...constructive comradery; sure there are spammers, but be clever enough to ask them telling questions to validate their verity or smoke 'em out through your wisdom.

I have owned/restored Packards for over 50 years (yes, a geezer also) and Allen Strong has been in Packard-land for over 40 that I'm aware of. I have done business (and social pleasure) at meets and he is as solid as it gets and a gracious gentleman and one of the most helpful hobbyists, old school style.

In the spirit of the season: I am just trying to put a little dignity with some guard-rails as "think twice before you type".

Part found.

I spoke with Allen, who is a great guy, and purchased a mirror that he had.. It was nice to find the part quickly from a fellow enthusiast at what I would consider a reasonable price.
