Does anyone know where I can find two note pads and one perfume bottle for the vanities in a 1940 Packard 180 club sedan? (or have replicas made). Thanks.

Very rare items, I'd guess. As for the perfume, Arpege might be appropriate.

Billh40,
for including your '40 One-Eighty Super Eight Custom Club Sedan in PackardInfo's Packard Vehicle Registry.

Having worked in small and large printing presses, you could easily make the pads. (Otherwise, go to a FedEx Office and have them do a spiral one cut to size or a small local print shop might do it for you cheaply, esp. if you tell them what you want to do.)

All you need is padding glue, paper and cardboard cut to size needed and some weights. Brush the glue on excessively on the edge of a bench and let drip off. You can add more as desired but the excess will mostly drip off. Typically when I did this I would do a stack, so think 50 pages+cardboard+50 pages+cardboard x 10. Then after a few hours, or wait a day if desired, lift the cardboard of the top pad and slice slowly with a butter knife (no need to get a padding knife, just something barely sharp. It should slice easily through but lightly lifting or pulling up on the "pad" while help. If you damage the first page below, just rip it off and it's clean.

The leather notebooks have been reproduced by Werner Meier in North Carolina, so there should be no need to go through all the steps in reproducing them again.

Warner Neil, South Carolina...I can look hum up tonite, or check the PAC roster

Oops. Right. Warner Neil. I've already given BillH40 the contact information for Warner Neil.

Here's what the reproductions look like.

I just talked with Werner Neil regarding the notebooks. He is out of town currently, so if anyone has been trying to get a hold of him, leave a message and he'll get back to you when he returns.
