  1. Fair enough.

    I am looking at a 1924 chassis.

    it was a hearse.

    all that is left of the body is the cowl.

    Drivetrain and fenders are present.

    I am trying to see what I might be able to find to recreate some sort of packard from the remains.

    by no means am looking at building a hot rod, etc.

    I should have been more forthcoming.

    I realize this would be a packard that the factory never built but if it’s recreated into something packard with packard parts at least something is being doing with it

  2. Thanks.

    the car in the background is a 1924 studebaker. It started life as a 4 door.

    it was owned by a young man in Clearwater Florida. In 1930 he was working for John roebling. Grandson of the roebling of Mercer car and the Brooklyn bridge.

    they did the modifications at roeblings. Which included the swept back top . They called a duck tail. It was covered with airplane fabric. The car has dual transmissions. The original studebaker paired with a willys. Giving it 9 forward speeds. It has oak lowering blocks under it. 
    truly an engineering masterpiece for 1930. I spoke with the original owners son. It was parked in the family garage in 1932 when his father went to work for standard oil. Sat there till we got it on a transport to Indiana
