I looked at the Packard info in the Clark/Kimes book,and it appears those 8 lug disc wheels were used from around 1928-31. Thus I am assuming the frame is from the same period. George

If any of you guys have Popular Mechanics magazine,trade journals,etc. from 1930-42,please look thru them for this vehicle. Does anyone have a name and phone number of someone in research at the Detroit Free Library. Finally does anyone own or know the whereabouts of a 1930-42 bus gas or deisel engine and transaxle that we might use to power the "bus".Thanks!

Dear Friends Please go to this Ebay Auction number Item number: 320390626383 to see about 15 inside and outside photos of my car. I bought from the seller after the Ebay winner decided not to buy it. Sorry I didn't post this in my initial posting. GREAT PHOTOS at the auction site! George

Dear Guys Thanks for your thoughts! Steve your kind words made my day.Thanks for having the AACA research people look about it in the archives. I think the thought that a bus mfgr. made it is a good one which I will explore. A 30s GMC bus engine and trans might be the ticket. If anyone has a contact with the Detroit Public Library,please foward this to them,and/or email me their name and numbers. Hopefully there is something about it in the Detroit Auto Trade press. I intend to spend time and effort to properly document the vehicle. Thats half the fun of owning an old car! George

Thanks for replying. I realize thats what it says,which is from the Clark/Kimes Standard Cataglogue of American Cars 1805-1942. However the second owner mentioned in that piece is still alive and informed me Mr. Hariss bought the car assembled from an unknown source,and he installed a Stanley Steamer steam engine in the 1940s. Buck Boudeman removed the steam engine approx. a decade ago. The car was originally built with no engine as a display piece,or had a gas engine in the rear,probably Packard,since the running gear is Packard. Could it have been built in the Packard factory? Let me hear from you guys! George

I just bought this monstrositity of a vehicle. Appears to have been in Michigan all of its life. Built on a circa 1930 Packard car chassis. Steam engine added in the 1940s. May have been a worlds fair show car,a non running prototype,or had a Packard 8 with its expermential front wheel drive assembly reversed. Almost certainly built in a factory. Steel body.Any photos/leads appreciated! Yes I know its ugly! George Albright,Ocala,Fla. cell 352 843 1624 email gnalbright@gmail.com
