Packard Forum Index » V-8 (1955-56)

Hello, my '56 Four Hundred got into an accident on the road with another driver cutting a corner out in front of me on a 70km/h road. The damages are mainly on the front left side of the car, with dents on the hood, above the firewall on the left side and one minor dent on the front right fender. However the front left fender is entirely crumpled up, as is the chrome trim, as per the image. The grille has cracked in several places and become distorted, with the grille net being torn up. The bumper is very warped too, and the cooler is bent inwards onto the fan, and thus a bit stripped by the fan (engine is fine).

Now I know that the car's fixable as I got real lucky with the damages, both to the car and myself considering there are no seatbelts in it. However, what I want to know is where I'd find most of these parts. I am already looking with my friends in the Nordic Packard Owner's Club for a lot of it, but I figure that I will have to ship in a lot from the U.S.. So I am wondering about the availability of these components, especially something the front left fender and the grille net. If anyone could give some pointers as to where I could find these it'd be real helpful.
