    Well, another article is coming out on the Saunders Special. Can’t wait to read this one. No matter how many pictures and documents that have been posted on this car. The Dick Saunders Creation keeps getting represented as a Darrin build. I just don’t get it.

    Thank you for the feedback and questions on this controversial car. I am glad that Hoppy Decker and Father saved these documents. It really has helped provide history on Dick's Speedster. Many of us were happy to see the Hemmings blog this morning. It is going to be interesting to see what happens in Monterey.

    Dick Saunders passion to blend these parts together was just the right recipe. We are all amazed how the Dutch Darrin theory got spun into this car. Dick would be honored to know that a well known car designer gave blessings that Dicks Creation was built in Paris. Actually; for those who know Dick.....he was not a Paris Guy. Dick helped his Packard Freinds with their projects from his home in Rensselaer New York. His knowledge was very extensive because of his Packard Agency experience from Boston, Massachusetts to Albany, New York. The picture below is the start of Dick's Packard Speedster build in his back yard. I also included a picture of Dick's creation after Fran Roxas restored it. Both pictures are of the same car; pretty amazing!

    Below is a NYS registration from 1947 for a 1936 Packard 1407 Coupe. Dick pulled the Packard Twelve motor 904080 from this car to use in his Speedster creation. The "Saunders Special" as it was called sometimes has similar style to Alvan Macauley's 1932 Packard Boattail Speedster. He did create a real hybrid; not too bad for a home grown car from Rensselaer New York.
