  3. Congratulations too, iMotors! From the fellow who reposted the Craigslist posting, it gratifying to know a car has found a new, appreciative owner! Please keep us apprised of your progress. Steve
  4. My thanks to Steve Braverman for sharing photos of the Franklin Trek. I attended the Franklin Centennial in 2002 in downtown Syracuse, truly a once-in-a-lifetime event. Among the variety of Franklins shown, the number of maintained original cars along with restored ones was impressive.
  5. Congratulations Steve! Its great this sweet Packard has its next good owner/conservator. The grille guard is too much, needs to go. For safety in today's traffic, those fog lights might be mounted lower and wired as turn signals. The rear definitely needs a set of small but bright turn signal lights mounted where they're unobtrusive but readily visible. A magnetic stop light to place high on the trunk lid would be a good idea too.
  6. Yes, essentially two divergent market segment models from the same carmaker in the same showroom. The 8-125 competed with Chrysler Eight CP, Buick Series 60, Studebaker Commander 71, Hudson Eight Major L and Nash Eight 980.
  7. The white convertible coupe is a 1932 Marmon 8-125 which was 125" wb for $1,445. The Marmon Sixteen was 145"wb, the convertible coupe $5,850.
  8. Welcome! As a Packard Clipper owner, I recommend you sign onto the PackardInfo website, its free: Forums - Packard Motor Car Information (packardinfo.com) It's a very active forum and easily searched source for answers to your questions. Also, there is a section for Packards for sale which you may avail yourself. The more information and photos you include will help sell the car. Good Luck. Steve

  10. The flamboyant styling of the late 1950's-early 1960's, including these Imperials, was best characterized by one automotive writer as: "The pleasant insanity of innocent excess."
  11. AJ: To sell the design to Hupmobile management, Raymond Loewy had this custom-bodied convertible sedan on an eight-cylinder Hupmobile chassis built. The coachbuilder has not been identified, though one suspects it could be European or one of the smaller, less-known American houses. Loewy, as a fashion designer, wasn't known for automotive design. He did provide Hupmobile with the "cycle-fender" design series and the follow-up 1934-'36 Aerodynamic. Personally, I suspect this Hispano-Suiza by Million-Guiet may have been the inspirational source for the design. It would have appeared in 1930 publications in the timeframe Loewy was developing the design for Hupmobile. Although it may not have been the sole inspiration, the multiple design details are too numerous to have been coincident. Steve
  12. Jim: Marmon offered convertible coupes in all their 1931 line-up: First Series: Sixteen, Big Eight, 8-79, 8-69, Marmon Roosevelt. Beginning January 1, 1931, the Second Series began wherein the Marmon Roosevelt became the Marmon Model 70, the Model 8-88 began, the Sixteen became Series 16. Please let us know which model you've discover and in on the pursuit. Steve

  14. Hydra-Matic, which was introduced in the 1940 Oldsmobile, is the automatic transmissions you are thinking of that was utilized in WWII tanks. Dynaflow Drive was introduced by Buick for 1948.

  17. Can you buy a car without a title in Colorado? If you want to buy a car without a title, you can use a surety bond title. This kind of title proves the vehicle is yours by showing the new owner's name and the surety company's name on it. When you get your car legally transferred into your name, the surety bond title will be replaced by a title of your own.Oct 14, 2021
  18. Supercub: Your 1955 Hudson is the cleanest, most attractive of the Kenosha Hudsons and for my taste the most appealing styling applied to the 1952-'57 AirFlite body series. Steve
  19. This is the original Gil Spear styling rendering that inspired the broad, low, wrap-around Streamline Moderne grille of the 1942 Chrysler.
  20. The Standard Catalog of American Cars, 1946-1975, Edited by John Gunnell list "bucket seat with console, Marauder ($162)". Also, "A competition handling package, which included heavy-duty shocks and larger stabilizer bar, was a $31.10 option on the Marauder and X-100. High performance and power transfer axles were also offered."
