Do any of you know anything about the (family) of the famous Earle C. Anthony Packard Dealership in Los Angeles?
Fallbrook, the small town (in San Diego County) I grew up in had a large landowner-weekend resident from the late 30's thru the late 50's by the name of ARTHUR ANTHONY. In his bio-profile at the local historical society, he is only referred to as a "wealthy car dealer from Los Angeles". In other information though it shows that he (solely) donated (3-Used) Henney-Packard Ambulances, a '39, '42, and a 1951 to the Fallbrook Fire Department. In 1954, Fallbrook VFD bought a brand new H-P Senior Ambulance that we are restoring now. Also the Berry-Bell Mortuary in Fallbrook ONLY had H-P Hearses and Service Cars up until 1956. I am curious if ARTHUR was a Brother, Son or other relative of Earle C. Anthony? THX-MM
