  1. Thanks Mike and Dave! I love the old Packards for their style and durability. Parts are also easy to obtain. We tour a lot and needed a more comfortable pre-war car (wife's RA dictates it) for our favorite tours. The "First of the Clippers" filled the bill AND also fit our budget! I highly recommend this model series to anyone wanting a comfy, stylish, economical touring vehicle.

  2. It was cloth, but the original fabric pattern is out of production and nowhere to be found. I wanted originality so I researched the leather option for 1941 Packards and was able to find a perfect color match to that year. Usually the leather matched the exterior color, buy ANY standard leather color could be ordered. So I went with "pumpkin" (my term) which looks very nice with the Grove Green paint. I stayed with the basic stitching pattern of the day for Clippers.

  3. I think you've got a great idea and there IS a need. If I were you, I'd talk it over with a good liability attorney. He could give you the possible direction to go in your state in regards to state and local regs and also write a good disclaimer for clients to sign to get you off the hook on potential liability stuff.

    I've got a local guy that will work on my cars free of charge in his garage or mine. . . I just leave a cash donation to his retirement fund (in a coffee can on the bench). He's probably not legal but doesn't have to advertise and gets more business he wants! Everybody is happy, even a local State Trooper who takes his Model A over occasionally.

  4. There is a place in Dayton that will make new springs for it, but I'm leaning toward trying new shocks with booster springs before replacing the springs ($500+) Any ideas where such shocks for my car would be available? Somtimes simple fixes are the best.
