Chopperdon, I'm in Jacksonville, Fl. We have a few hearse owners here and there in FL, but the best places to look are online.
www.cwcoach.com has a lot of old steel not listed on their site, but I doubt you'll find a Packard.
The Professional Car Society has a free forum, but they frown on modifieds, let alone rods & customs. They met in Daytona a few years ago, and there were 3 Packards there.
There's always ebay & craigslist.
Hearses are pretty rare, you might want to think about not limiting the choice to one make.
If you are near Jax, drop me a line. We need to get the Deadsledz club back together.
