58 Packard wagon surfaces again on 'Hooniverse'
Proud NON-CASO

Every time one of these shows up, I have to sigh a bit. Matthew's recent pics of my old Pack wagon are disheartening to look at. It didn't look ANYthing like that when it was towed from my driveway in 1981. I really thought I had a gem when I owned and drove it in the late 70s. Of course - at that time, these PackardBakers - all body styles - were held in LOW regard by SDCers in general (even the '58 Stude sedans were smirked at back then).
Shy of me finding a winning lottery ticket blowing down the street, I'll never own another. It's amusing that while even TODAY they're phoo-poohed as ridiculous - folks are wowed when they see one. In this age of anonymous soap bars, it's a real slap in the face to realize that we once drove around in what are not regarded as works of art.No deceptive flags to prove I'm patriotic - no biblical BS to impress - just ME and Studebakers - as it should be.

There is a non-Packard Club site ( http://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/article/ ) that has a registry of sorts, but I know there are more out there then what they have.

One of the Packard Clubs says they do, but any attempts by me to reach them so that I might see it and/or add my '58 sedan have gone un-answered. I really wanted to find out what they have so that I might add it to my back burner project Registry of '56-'58 Studes and '57 & '58 Packards.

The roster keeper for '57 and '58 Packards at the Packard Club is:
Hal Hermann (hal.hermann@verizon.net)
Hope this helps.

but if that's the guy listed on the PAC website-
odds are that's who I tried already.
Now to try and figure out how long ago that was...

I keep a registry just on the 58 Packard Station Wagons. If you hear of any, please let me know. Most individuals are willing to share, but do not want me posting anything. I do keep the info confidential if asked to do so. Of the 159, I know of a little over 20.Last edited by 58PackardWagon; 11-08-2011, 07:42 PM.
