Perhaps the owner thinks saying Packard is all that is needed?

Just reread the part about the title being signed by a previous owner. I had that on my 52 with who knows how many years delay. I did not have much trouble getting a good title here in Illinois.

I don’t know about price but I do know I like it, a lot

My late Mother-in-Law had a four door automatic model in the late 70’s, early 80’s and since knowing her maintenance and care would have been minimal at best it must have been an ok car to survive her ownership as long as it did.

They will be ok unless they try to lift it. On the car I agree it looks nice

True alsuncle as one only has to go on E-Bay to see that. Perhaps my opinion is colored by being from the poor side of town? I tend to have trouble visualizing a restored car without the required pile of money next to it.

In my non expert opinion price is optimistic at best.

What I can’t get over is the just spent $3000 on it. I suspect some “mechanic” saw a trip to Disneyland when they drove or more likely dragged it in.

I am to the point where it would be more cost effective to jack up my hair(if I had any) and slide a new body under it.

This was the first motor vehicle from the Sunbeam Motor Company, produced in 1899. Designed by Mabley-Smith, it's a curious vehicle, with wheels laid out on a diamond pattern with only the front and rear wheels sprung. Engine was a watercooled 327 cc engine from DeDion. The vehicle could seat 2 or 3 people with the driver in the rear.

Absolutely stunning photos. Thanks for taking the time to post them.

That is what happens when the kids write the captions.

That Said a lot of the cars parts were somewhat over engineered. I expect that is one of the reasons they lasted mechanically so long. As far as the body in the 1960’s your plan is probably a good one.

Bead roller faster and less strain I am sure. Is the cost prohibitive or can you maybe plan on using for something else in the future? I know I have a few tools laying around I bought 20-30 years ago for one thing and here they sit. I admire your dedication to trying to make everything as correct as possible.

It could be a interesting little ride if the price was right(and I have no idea of it’s true worth). Most likely be the only one in the neighborhood, maybe the whole city.

A show on Motor Trend TV called Vintage Voltage has a shop that converts classics to electric. I believe they are in Wales or at least in the UK.

I used the laced leather ones on my dailies for years. I liked them for comfort and grip. The hard plastic wheels tend to slip in my hands.

I know this one is not automotive related but I just had to share it:

Sorry, sometimes I drop inadvertently into “oldspeak”

Not to be the “DebbieDowner” in the group but many years ago I had a Plymouth flathead six that did that. Eventually developed a rod knock. The insert was worn out.
