Rare car, most were turned into convertibles years ago.

One of the prettiest Packards made in my opinion. A very worthwhile project.

Bert Barber sold this car to his friend, while still in business in California, who began the restoration, completing the mechanical portion, the motor and trans and some chrome. He passed away and his widow sold thee car back to Bert who took it up to Washington State where he now resides. He sold it to me to use the money from it and the money I gave him for a 1933 victoria coupe that is being restored by Kent Marburger of Ill.....and will be shown for the first time this show season. Shawn Miller and I bought two cars from Bert. Both had to be purchased or nither would he sell. Shawn took the 32 shovel nose convertible and I took the coupe with the hardtop zipped off. Regardless this is a very nice piece as you are saying and easily completed after the sheet metal is taken care of.
