As I thought it might be a good mate for my 1956 Clipper Custom Sedan, I’ve been in communication with the owner of the 1956 Custom Constellation but sadly we’re too far apart on price. He is willing to come down considerably from the $6,500 he’s asking but not enough to make it worthwhile including shipping to get it. It is Tangier Red and Dover White just like mine but the colors are reversed which was an option. It has a black and white interior while mine is grey and black.

1950 Club Sedan. Abandoned restoration project but much work has been completed. Bodywork is done and car is in primer. Ad states $5K in new chrome, new WW tires and new radiator core. This one looks very promising. Asking $8,500 which sounds reasonable if description is accurate. Duluth, MN:

1948 Henney Hearse. Very rough and rusty and probably only good for parts. Faded sign on rear door indicates that the car was once used by an upholstery business after its funeral days were over. Seller is asking $1,500. Minnesota.

PMCC chair and desk. Would be an interesting combo but they are for sale hundreds of miles apart.

The tag on the desk is interesting. I was given this one some years ago by a co-worker who said it came from a locker in the Philadelphia Packard Distributorship. Now I'm wondering if what I was told is wrong or did someone create an inauthentic piece of antique furniture to increase the value of the desk.

I can't say for certain but I can see it being off a locker. Every company I have ever worked for attaches a similar tag to assets for two main reasons - deters theft and for asset tracking for accounting. These tags help identify assets during inventory cycle counts and audits. Most companies use a prefix to denote a certain asset class. Packard may have used "Z" for "Office Furniture", which a locker would probably be listed. Office furniture has its own depreciation schedule for tax purposes, why this is done. Also note, these tags are usually nothing special in terms of showing provenance of origin.. these get changed in format all the time by companies.. probably both real.

I believe the desk might be a fake. The tag appears to be from a locker. Compare it to the tag from the chair. Tag on chair says property of PMC and is attached differently. Desk tag appears to have new screws.
