Have you ever gone out to your garage in the morning to find that someone has parked their freshly restored 1934 Packard Super Eight coupe-roadster painted in the most God-beautiful shade of green (with two double rows of thin, Thin, THIN, T-H-I-N pinstripes and black sidewall tires)?
Then, did that person tell you to drive it as often as you can?
Man! The brazen boldness and impudent insolence of some people just galls me!

My head just exploded.

Wow!

Maybe that fellow was trying to hide those blackwalls!

The tires look great!

Yes this has happened to me along with several other classic cars coming my way......then I would wake up!!! That is an awesome car..enjoy.

Dear West,SUPER car,great colors and the top fits like it oughta and oh yea wires and blackwalls really make it.diz

Very nice! 1934 the last year Packard made an attractive automobile, BLACK tires look PERFECT!

Hey Bob,I love it when someone shows a car at Hershey and has the big brass ones and leaves the wide whites at home and lets the car stand on it's own.When i see whitewalls i think of PERFUME on a PIG.NOW ask me how i really feel.diz

Needs whitewalls, unless it was rodded..........just my 2 cents.

I wish that would happen to me. My garage could fit three of those beauties.

WEST HAS MADE A FEW MODS SINCE GETTING THE CAR!

(Can you name the changes?)

I had a similar experience once, when one of my friends was about to leave for an extended visit to Europe after he had retired, he drove his 1924 6cyl 6 1/2 litre OHC Hispano Suiza into my garage, with instruction to use it as if it was my own.
I drove it very little. I didn't like the brakes, and I didn't like the way it felt to drive. And it didn't seem to have as impressive road performance as my 1918 Mercer, which is a roughly similar size car (not a Raceabout). I never really felt entitled to tune or adjust it. The car was beautifully built and finished. You may consider me a Philistine if you like, but I would never trade one for a Stutz; while mecanically and in about every other way I consider the A model Duesenberg incomparably superior.

Dear Peter,Just HAD to put those WWs on didn't ya.diz

Can you name the changes ???

Let see, Whitewalls and Flames are the 2 big things that stand out. The moon gas tank up front like a gasser is a nice touch along with the personalized License plate.

But what I really want to know is where you got the B & W picture of West driving ?

Ps My compliments on your Photoshop work.

(the driver is better know as "milner". Name the movie.)

American Graffiti!

I thought it looked something like him....after blowing it up 400%

But West, if this thing blocks your garage, where are you going to keep your cars?

I guess I'll have to park it next to this.

Peter's "Pimp Peterson's Packard" is set to debut on Spike TV when?



Hope the cameras are "rolling" when the owner returns, 'cause West's head will be too,
right down the driveway...

TG

Holy crap, West, what a tank! Love it.

West, is that one of them ultra-rare Russkie Politburo Packards?

TG

No. That's my current ride. A 1940 180 that's been chopped and shaved.

Peter
Take your can of white paint and go home!

I don't think whitewalls look bad if that's the way the car came.

Nice car West! What did you trade for it?
