I am finishing up the restoration my 1939 Super 8 limo.
I have lost the name of the supplier that sells reproduction Sill Plates. I visited his booth at Hershey
a year or two ago but cant find what I did with the Information.

Also Any suggestions for reasonably priced door weather stripping.

Thanks, Bill Wurts

On the weather strip I believe your choices are between vendors selling essentially the same product. Kanter does offer an item in his senior car listings labeled as a repro of the original --Gr 30.344-- but don't know if it is specifically molded to shape or one of the extrusions cut to length.https://www.kanter.com/packard/pac-sen.html#30

I believe Max will supply the same items made by Steele but at a slight discount. If you have a decent piece of original to use in matching, Metro Molded Rubber, Restoration Specialties, and Steele all offer several shapes of universal stripping by the foot. Buying that is probably the least expensive.

Steele Rubber has all the rubber parts for your car.

Click on an individual item and you'll see a profile of the product with dimensions. At least you'll have the specs in searching for something at a lower price that could work.
