New Poster Intro - r1lark

Hi, wanted to introduce myself, just signed up at www.packardinfo.com......

My name is Paul, and live in North Carolina. Long time Packard fan, since my family had a Packard dealership in Hempstead Long Island NY from '48 - '56, and a Studebaker-Packard dealership in Merrick Long Island NY from '56 - '65. When Studebaker consolidated production in Canada in '64, the dealership began transitioning to a Datsun/Nissan dealership.

I've been using the www.packardinfo.com resources quite a bit over the last couple of months while transferring the family dealership sales records into a digital format. While I'm very familiar with Studebaker model info, and Packard model info in '54 - '56, I needed help on models and serial numbers for the earlier Packards. All the needed info and more was found here at www.packardinfo.com

I hope to make use of the knowledge on this forum in answering some questions that came up when transferring the Packard sales records.

While I have a number of Studebakers (thus my user name "r1lark" which of course is a Studebaker reference), unfortunately no Packards are in the garage. My goal is to eventually obtain a nice '54 or '55 or '56 Packard as these are my favorite models.

Thanks to bigKev for making this site available!

Thanks for the welcomes folks!

JW, not only am I the son of a Packard dealer, but also the Grandson and Nephew. Where was your dad's dealership?

My father was the dealer in Santa Fe, New Mexico from 1929 to 1954. First as a service station, then shortly thereafter a full dealership.

Santa Fe, that's a beautiful area of the country. My younger son lives in Scottsdale AZ and we go out each spring and fall, visit him, then travel around the southwest for a week.
