1930 packard

[marc1122]

I recently acquired a 1930 733 packard rumble seat coupe. 

This is the first packard I have owned. My question to the packard people out there is. Are there any prints or drawings out there of the wood structure of these cars. This car is very solid but will need some wood replaced. Secondly, the seat springs and most of the wood bottoms are there but in poor shape. Is there anybody that fabricates these? My upholstery guy is good but he doesn't get into seat frames or springs. 

Thanks for any help or insight.

Snyders Antique auto parts makes seat springs for any make cars . He has made several sets of Franklin seat springs for me. He is the Modelt Ford guy.

I don't know if this is at all helpful, but you might check if the parts book has plans in there:

Also, here is a video Packard made around 1930 that explains how they assemble the wood structures in their cars.  It probably lacks the detail to be helpful, but maybe worth a look anyway.
