  • UPDATE on 58 PACKARD J-8 ROSTER

    Currently at 79 cars and counting. Of these i have numbers and/or owners verifying their existence for 61 of the cars. The other 18 are out there, just don't know where yet. My goal is to reach 100 cars, then print up a list. Again, a BIG THANKS to all whom i have talked to and those that have contacted me. If i have not talked to you yet, and you currently or have ever owned a 58 J-8 please contact me by PM or message on here. Thanks again, Dave

        Hey Bruce, we missed your 58L in Wagga Wagga. Will you be going to the Newcastle Concours in November?

          I think that 11.7% is an accomplishment.
          I think that 15% would be admirable (100 is 14.8%).

                  There is a 58 J in a wrecking yard in Casa Grande. Desert Valley Auto Parts dvap.com It is listed under Studebaker but you can see there is still some 58 J stuff on it.

ID:	1696351There is a 1958 J body Packard in Oakleaf Auto Parts in Hartford South Dakota. Maybe someone in that area could grab the body and serial numbers?
