We are in process of restoring our 1940 Packard Super 180 and very much in need of the following items:
Packard One Eight hub caps and the inner trim rings between outer and hub cap needed.
Packard fender mirror. Need mirror only.
Rear Luggage rack release knob needed.
Radio channel buttons needed.
Plastic rear ash tray handles needed.
Not sure of year or model other than it is a 39 or 40 with the plastic dash. I am attempting to find someone who restores these type dashes for a friend who otherwise has a very nice car. Any assistance is appreciated.
I found the show to be very lame. The guy takes quick look at the car like a kid in a candy store, gets to take je wiz ride and then pulls a number out the air of what he thinks it's worth. This is a one season show at best.
i agree check out both these organizations for lots correct information. Parts are available for most all years including the early years. As the owner of a 64 Avanti R 2 I am one that believes the only real Avantis were those produce by Studebaker in 63 and 64.

I have the glass bowl filter on my 1964 Studebaker Avanti R2. It's a Delco unit and I do not know if this was factory or not. I also have a new one still in the box,
