1958 packard j-8

[58L-J8 Guy]

Just wondering if anyone in the Pittsburgh,PA area may remember a black or black with white top 58 Packard hardtop ?, that was advertised in the local Auto Trader and also in Hemmings, between 1987 and 1992. Car was advertised with a parts car. Rich Syck in Bethel Park was one owner, and it was also for sale in the Homestead area. Same car may also have been on a used car lot in Glenshaw,PA. If anyone remembers the car or person listed, please send me a PM on here. Another owner of this car was Francis Werling of Allison Park, PA around 1974.
Also, i am still compiling a roster of owners for these cars ,J-8 only, and have about 88 cars accounted for. If i haven't talked to you yet, and you own one , or have ever owned, or know of one rotting away in Grandma's back yard, i would like to hear from you. Thanks, Dave

I wish I could be certain of the timing, but I believe it was in the early/mid 1990s when I ran across one in Prosser, WA. I kept in contact with the owner for quite some time, and just when I was ready to buy it (1999 or so?) I learned that they sold it the month prior. I was told it went to Spokane, WA. I have never seen it again. The car was Canyon Copper, but I don't remember if the roof had an accent color or not. Somewhere I have photos of just about every corner, the interior, and under the hood. But for now, here's some info for you from my notes---

s/n 58L8082; body number 661


Having missed out on that car- I got a '57 Commander two door sedan instead. Later I ended up with a '58 Packard sedan and several other Studes~
