Hello! A new member to the Group here, from the Detroit area (where not long ago the famous Packard bridge collapsed).
I am seeking information, and hopefully any blueprints/elevation drawings with dimensions and external specifications, etc., relating to the airport limos, particularly 1941s on the 1903-AB chassis [I have grown increasingly enamored of the 1941 Henney open-top, 8-door Smoky Mountain (#25) Super Eight, now being restored in Europe and presented in Stuttgart in 2018).
I have searched through the past message-threads and gained valuable information, and learned of the sad passing of Ken Chapman ('PackardAPL').
Also, if any one knows of an available back-issue of The Packard Cormorant, Summer 2009, #135, that would be great.
Thank you much.

TPC #135 must have been an especially popular one, I see back issues are no longer available. I'm not willing to part with mine but if you were to send a SASE with adequate postage I'd be glad to photocopy and send those pages you want.

We have a great Facebook page for "Smoky Mountain Tours Company" that has a lot of photos of the SMT fleet including the car you mention. SMT operated many Packard cars both stretched and 3 axle . You will need to request to join - just a formality. If you are not on FB you can PM me and we will try to email you some info. Take Care, JWA
