Who owns this car? 1911-12 Packard. I cannot find it listed in the registration.
-
Looks like about 1941 Buick. Certainly not Lincoln.

Joe. The car that Tom has uploaded is NOT the "Car of the Dome" car. Further, the "copperish color" you saw on the actual Car of the Dome, was not the original paint (though it had been touted as being original for many years). It was discovered that it was not original, which was then followed by a complete restoration. The car is now brown, and owned by Bob Bahre.

Nice find, Charles. What's the story behind that?

What is a Dietrick?
It's a 1932 Packard, bodied by Dietrich (note the correct spelling). Interesting photo. I wonder if it was owned by Harrah at the time the photo was taken.

I am currently helping a friend restore an identical car. He knows his car inside and out, upside and backwards. Any mechanical question that you might have, he can probably answer.
Feel free to email me at StelvioGT @ yahoo .com

The 734 speedster was Packard's first 100mph "production" car. Approximately 35 boattails were built. The speedster was also available as a rumble seat roadster, four-door sedan, phaeton, and victoria. There is also a factory photo of a coupe, but no information on it (other than a single photo) has ever been found.

1907 Wayne owned by Jack Dunning, Cabridge, Ohio.
Other cars made in the now burned up Detroit plant (summer 2005): E-M-F and Studebaker

From the resolution of the photo, it looked to me like the license plate bracket may have been hiding the triangle. I think electric lights were added in 1913. Being a speedster, you never know what mix of parts were used to assemble the car.

I'm guessing Hudson, based on the radiator and wheel hubs. Body is non standard.

I'm not saying you're wrong, don't shoot me, I'm only the messenger... and I don't think it's the titling agency's fault, either. If he's got a 1952 I.D. plate on the car and title work for the donor 1952 that supplied the front clip, that's the way they're going to print it up. You don't expect the lady behind the desk to know the difference between 1952 and '53 Packards?
It's meant to be a concept car. A concept done in 1952 would more than likely feature upcoming features, such as the windshield, which makes sense to then title it as a 1952. I'm speculating. Who the heck knows why he actually calls it a 1952.
-
Don't puzzle over it too much, Ed. It's titled as a 1952 and it's a completely made up car. The windshield could be from 1953, door handles could be from 1954, side trim, etc. Notice the hood ornament and wheels. They aint exactly 1952 either.

Made up from a 1952 Packard. Pinin Farina styling. Nice work. I believe it was featured in Collectible Automobile a few years ago when it was first done. The same guy is making the "fake" Cadillac and Packard woodies of the same vintage.
One of his "creations" just sold at the Kruse Auction for $340,000. It was a car made up from a drawing seen in a magazine called "Saga." Retractable two-piece hardtop coupe, with a see-through plexiglass part over the driver's compartment.

There's one like this in the Packard Museum in Dayton, but without the padded top.
1929 Lincoln

That is a sweet looking Lincoln. Love that body style.
