The cars in the Ohio junkyard you are talking about have all been crushed.

Donald, I kinda figured they would've been scrapped by now. Sad to hear, but pretty much inevitable. I remember the pigs running loose there. I think I have one of the owner's business cards that has a hog on it. T'was right close to Toledo Express airport if I remember right.

Bob you remember exactly right. the place was called hog heaven now long gone.

Matthew, My Dad has had one longer than I have been alive. If I recall, it is solid black with no white roof. I do not know the body number. I will try to get it the next time I am over there. Zane

For anyone looking to restore a 58 packard wagon there is a 58 studebaker wagon on eBay. Would make a nice donor body and frame.

This one has possibilities if all of the rust is just surface, it looks pretty straight.

Grab it quick before those two dudes from Fast 'n Loud get it!

Back in the early 90"s Brad Kuchan and I were at the annual gathering in Bloomington, il, at Miller Park, Brad had 3 body styles of the 1958 Packard{ he had 2 wagons} and I had a Packard hawk, the picture of all the body styles together was really neat. Do not see that very often!

[Corvanti]

would love to see that pic!
