USPS just put my copy in the Mail Box. Some weekend reading ahead of me!
The regular Hemming's had a two issue Packard list about 6 months ago or so that listed contacts for all kinds of different Packard Vendors, Websites, Clubs, etc. We (PackardInfo.com) did not make the list for some reason. Hopefully it was just an oversight, and dark forces are not plotting against us!

Did anyone else notice that at the top of page 63, that the 21st series Custom is labeled as a 1948?
Oh well, I guess I should get used to it by now. Small things, but I think the magazine is great. I do appreciate that did the Packard issue.

Paul Cornwell's car is an Executive. I believe Paul had a Patrician at one time and the writer probably got his facts mixed up. Here is a pic of Paul's Caribbean interior and as you can see, it is a hardtop. The Hemmings Packard mag is still a good magazine regardless of many proofreading errors.

My copy arrived on Saturday.
Yes, beautiful photos. Despite technical errors, proofreading stuff, it is wonderful to have a issue with a fleet of Packards in the articles. DanL

I was driving my 55 Clipper home from a fellow Packardites funeral when across the intersection at a stop light, a fellow was waving the Hemmings Packard issue at me. It seems he enjoyed the magazine too.

I just received another copy of the Packard issue of Classic car my cousin from North Carolina was at book store saw the articles and picked up a issue and sent it to me he knows of my project.
The best thing about the Classic car magazine is that it covers all brands and types of cars I'm sure they are not experts on every brand they do a great job of general information with wonderful pictures. Proof reading will not find the little errors that show up to to the brand experts. I know that I do not know everything about all brands of cars still enjoy the articles as general interest to a car person

True enough acolds, but way back when the mag first emerged from Special Interest Autos, I emailed some comments about the constant errors and was told they were going to begin to have marque-specific articles reviewed by club or other specialists particular to that marque to pick up on individual author's errors. Seemed a fine idea, hasn't happened, or atleast not with the hoped-for results.
I still enjoy the mag.

It would be a great way to supplement an income for Packard Part purchases. Make all the knowledge pay you back!
