Rod Blood scooped up the scraps of a Packard at that fire........he had it for years and sometime after he died, someone built the car from what was left..........not sure if it was this car, or the earlier one.

Different car.  But they have in common that they were both restored by the late Terry Martin.

Was this photo taken before or after the fire?

I have known for a long time that a bunch of historically significant cars were displayed at that show, and generally understood they were lost. I did not know of any being restored or salvaged except for a maybe a 1908ish Packard roadster (good to hear about that again). Barney Oldfield's Golden Submarine was eventually recreated after the original on display was destroyed.

Before the fire.  DPL writeup says "The driver is Russell Huff, head of Packard experimental branch. The passenger is Milton Tibbetts, Packard's collector/protector of patents. This car, license plate 30122 NY, was repurchased from the owner for use in testimony in a 1910 lawsuit."

Here's the Packard model C (#72) that was burned in the LA fire.  It was restored, as was the 1908 model 30 runabout.  How many other cars from the fire were restored?
