Hey guys,

Helping my uncle restore his 41 packard 180 and am looking for some of the wood trim that goes on the inside around the doors, and probably other misc wood pieces, he's been making what he dosnt have but man it sure is a labor ridden process.

Any help would be appreciated, heres a pic i found of one..you can see the wood trim which is inside the doors.

Now thats a great car. :drool5: We have several Packard's in my Family including a 56 Carribean Conv. Did you join the Packard Club? The People in that club are amazing and very helpful. Look it up.

Try Kanter Auto Products in Boonton, NJ.  He used to specialize in collecting old Packard part when he was growing up which is what started his business.

All good advice.  I'd also recommend the Classic Car Club of America (CCCA).   I believe the 180 is a senior Packard and is recognized by the CCCA.   Someone surely has been in your shoes before.

id avoid Kanter like the plague. I used them once and had a terrible experience. that was in 2001 and I havent ever gone back to them. They sold me the wrong parts then wanted me to pay for them sending me the wrong stuff.....4 times. :brickwall:

I'd check the ccca guys. if not I know there are some packard specific car clubs out there which would probably behove you to get in touch with regardless. :2thumbs:

Kanter is in the town I used to live so I always went there in person to pick up the stuff and made sure it was correct, right then and there.
