LETTER: Registrar of old Packard roster seeks information on Paul Young Packard Vermont Packard roster keeper would like to know whereabouts of the Paull Packard touring car today Hi - Just read the interesting article: Paull Packard Will Participate In Parade At Indianapolis Speedway, I am roster keeper for all twin six Packards manufactured between 1916 and 1922, and the roster is accessible online at:John Grundy's Packards Online I ran searches (and you may also) at the site, under the names Paull, Young and Conover and did not find the car. However, as you'll see, many cars that are known to exist and are on the roster are cars for which prior ownership information is incomplete. As a practical matter, an "antique" car that survived past WW2 as this one did, is most likely in existence today, unless destroyed by fire or other casualty. You might find, by scrolling down the list and clicking on various cars, some clue that the Paull car is on the list but the link to Paull had not been made by the former roster keeper(s). If you do learn about the car's current ownership, I would sure love to hear from you. Tim Martin Rutland, VT Editor's note: This is obviously a case for Cyrus. I've contacted three people I thought would know, and they each gave valuable leads, but nothing that has yet given an answer. Grover Gilpin says that he remembers that Mr. Paul Young traded the old car for a new Cadillac, but he doesn't remember whether it went to a dealer or a collector. He thought the county clerk's office might have a record of the transaction. Alfred Flowers, who knows as much about the history of the Auto Age in Adair County as anyone, didn't remember exact details of the trade, but suggested a couple of names who would remember, but at least one of those is deceased. He said that Mr. Young had the vehicle stored in the shop behind his house on Tutt Street, and decided to trade it off after the engine block cracked during a freeze one winter. "He didn't get all the water drained," Mr. Flowers said. Mr. Flowers thinks that Mr. Young traded the Packard for the new car before he retired to Florida. He doesn't remember when that move took place, but when the Youngs moved, Paul Young's sister, Arlene Young, retired from teaching in Northern Kentucky and lived in the house until her death. Adair County Court Clerk Ann Melton said that records on those transactions go back to only 1983. They are now computerized and she thought that a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) would be needed to learn the details of the transaction when Mr. Paul Young traded the Packard. Maybe Cyrus will find an account of when Arlene Young moved to Columbia from Covington, when Paul and Mabel Young moved to Florida, and when and to whom the Packard was traded. The old Packard touring car ranks with the Old American LeFrance fire truck as the number 1-2 memorable vehicles in Adair County car history, I'd guess. If anyone can help on any of this, please append a comment; but better yet, email me at ed@epwbooks.com or send through Submit a Story. You can also go to Packard website and contact Tim Martin directly. I'm sure he'd welcome any information you might furnish. Last of all, does any reader have a photo which could be shared? If you do, and would just go ahead and send it to us, that would be great. - Ed Waggener This story was posted on 2006-02-18 13:57:26
