Michael Vinarcik Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Hello! My parents were longtime members of Packards International and I believe they were also AACA members (Dad ran Yesterday's Radio, which made replica knobs and under-running board antennas). Their house is now for sale in Seven Hills, OH (southern suburb of Cleveland)...and has 2 2-car attached garages and a 2.5 car detached garage (plus a shed). I'm posting here in the hope that an AACA member in the area may be in the market for this kind of home. I know my folks had many years of enjoyment with the car clubs but that time of their lives is now over. 😞 https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/7759-Edgewood-Ln_Seven-Hills_OH_44131_M49528-97418?from=srp-list-card Please share with anyone who might be interested.

George Smolinski Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) Were there any Packard he owned and where are they now? Edited August 28, 2023 by George Smolinski (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Vinarcik Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 @George Smolinski He had 1937 120, a 1956 400...sold those and bought a 1956 Patrician and a 1940 (not sure what series). He sold them a number of years ago when he couldn't really enjoy them any more. As I recall, he updated the Patrician with disc brakes adapted from a Cadillac.

K8096 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) I'm sorry for the loss of your parents. I remember meeting them at Hershey a number of years ago. May I ask what happened to the remaining inventory of Packard parts you dad had? Both original parts and the reproduction stuff? Did one of the Packard parts dealers buy it all up to re sell, or do you still have some of it?

Paul Dobbin Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) You may want to consider listing your parents home on CarProperty.com, a web site for just what you are selling. It's a world wide listing service where car people can shop by states for homes, dealerships, gas stations, etc.. When we sold our home in Florida we used them and had a buyer frim Japan come to see it. I plan to list our 11 car garage home in NC ]with them soon, if I can't get my knees working again, Check it out even if you are not selling or still dreaming about a bigger garage, it's the place to look. Here us a link to examples: https://www.carproperty.com/near-hershey-pa-on-1-57-acres-ad79053031.htm another https://www.carproperty.com/lexington-nc-house-with-a-9-car-garage-ad21723638.htm Edited August 31, 2023 by Paul Dobbin leven oi even spilling error, added an example Ad (see edit history) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavine Restorations purchased Dad's Yesterday's Radio inventory and molds and now manufacture them as https://classiccarreproductions.com. He sold all of his car parts to Max Merritt.

They're still alive, just in assisted living up near me where I can help look after them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as for the decor...we're a wallpaper family. My grandfather taught my Dad and Dad taught me. Competently-hung wallpaper hides a lot of sins. I know it's not for everybody, but for me it's like wearing a bow tie. It shows I can do it. Competently. 😀 And the ceiling appliques were from Fischer & Jirouch...they did a lot of the plasterwork for mansions back in the day. Dad installed them himself. http://www.fischerandjirouch.com/home-page.cfm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
