Looking for 1938 Packard Super 8

Hello folks! I am looking to find a car and need some help! I'm looking for a 1938 Super 8 Touring Sedan. It was restored by my dad in the early 1980's before he passed away suddenly. His name was Pete Dudney. The car was a deep red (chinese red) with gray interior. My Mom sold it to a man named Billy Rogers in the mid 1980's. He kept it a while, then sold it to Judge Tom Shriver (nashville). My dad and Tom were friends, so it was sentimental to him. When Tom passed away, his widow gave it to her son. I believe he then sold it shortly after. To whom I don't know. Tom passed in 1997, so it was probably changin hands in the early 2000's. Any help or leads is appreciated.

You may wish to contact the roster keeper for 1938 Super Eights. I believe this roster has been kept for decades so he may have some info for you. I seem to remember having my car added in the 1980s or 1990s. Contact info available on the Packard Culb website so I don’t see why I can’t post it here.

Greg Wells was good friends with Tom Shriver. Greg is a member of the AACA Forum, so I'll send him a link to this.

I remember both your dad and Tom Shriver, by the way. Nice men.
