Gerd, thanks for your efforts. All we can do is wait and see if an owner will reply with an answer to your question.

Why is it so hard to get an answer to our questions from an owner of a 1941 or 1942 Packard or Clipper?

John, sometimes it depends on ... me.

Sorry?!

1) Due to a translation error I had to edit post #50.

2) "... I am sorry to let you know the car was sold ..." says www.motorcarportfolio.com from post #51. Thanks for the fast reply, Bob.

OK, here's the document cited earlier, courtesy of Stuart Blond via Jim Balfour. Draw your own conclusions; mine is that, with no mention of the conventional bodies (other than the LeBarons), Packard continued to build them.

Just as an added note, I believe that all or almost all the Packard Board Meeting minutes right up until the end have survived. These pages come from a private collection.

Dave, Stuart Blond, Jim Balfour and the private collector - many thanks.

Furthermore other Packard/Briggs contracts are mentioned.


Quote:
I believe I'm correct when I say that Briggs also built the "conventional" bodies in 1941 and 1942.

Dave, just to exclude translation errors, am I right in saying that you based on this Board Meeting minutes drop the above shown hypothesis?
