Dick Saunders Creation is back on the auction block-Mecum Monterey 2016. It is being advertised by Mecum as (1936 Packard Twelve Boattail Speedster) 1936 Packard Twelve Gentleman's Tailback Speedster crediting Dutch Darrin as the coach builder. I remember this car when Dick owned it. The motor number for this car is 904080; I am glad to see that it still has the same motor that Dick put in this car back in the 50's. He had paired it with twin superchargers, he did love his power. Before Dick placed the Packard V-12 in this car, he had a Marmon V-16 motor with 1936 Packard chassis along with this 1929 Auburn body. He was a true pioneer when it came to Packard Hotrods. Dick would be pleased to see this car today; he was very proud of it. Attached are pictures of this car in different stages

Dick Saunders 1936 Packard Twelve Boattail Speedster 904080 is going back out of the auction block-Mecum Monterey 2016. So far it is being represented as a Dutch Darrin coachwork. I not sure Dick was looking for the Darrin Coachwork label when he built this car? May be he was inspired by the Alvin Mccauley's 1932 Packard Boattail Speedster. I am sure Dick's car was much faster. I do hope the car is represented correctly-the "Saunders Special" just as he called it.

Folks, Dick Saunders 1936 Packard Twelve Boattail Speedster 904080 is back out on the auction block. Mecum Monterey August 2016. Dick Saunders I am sure he is enjoying this next chapter of his "Saunders Special." As many have of you have heard, Dick was a Pioneer of Hotrod Packards. Many people got caught up in a flat head v8 while Dick was tinker with the Packard Twelves. Some of his V-12 creations were paired with twin superchargers; and even a couple of transmissions joined together.

Thanks for posting these pictures of the Saunders Special. When Dick built this car, I am sure he did not expect the attention that it has received over the years. If he were alive today, I bet that he would be honored that Fran Roxas had a hand in restoring Dick's original creation. I wonder if Dick wishes that he kept this car as a v16 Marmon/Auburn creation? The Marmon does have a nice look. His Packard heritage gave him the drive/vision of a Packard Speedster to boast a v12 with twin superchargers-of course he was a unique hot rod pioneer. The current state of this 1936 Packard Speedster is a long way from Dick's vision. I think Dick and my Grandfather are up there enjoying the continued saga of the Saunders Special that was created in the 40's. Below is a link to the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Club Website; there is additional information and pictures about Dick's car. http://forums.acdclub.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=6131
