That is same body as my car had on it, though mine was a PI and the photos are of a PII (body was not common on a PII, but probably a solid half dozen cars - and a good 4 on the PI chassis, though limited documentation as to them as other than mine most would have been a second body - mine was an all new build late L series built in November 1932, after the factory closed and when you could have bought a PII otherwise). It would be a Dover "New" and is different from the prior body style offered as a Dover. There are no know factory photos of my car or any of the other Dover "New" bodied P1's for that matter.

I need a full set of INSTRUMENTS / GAUGES for a 1929-1931 Packard (car is a 29) I have a decent fuel gauge I have an ignition switch I have a cigar lighter (though a second in a package is fine) Thanks, John.mereness@cbrealty.com (513) 478 1887

Owned a 1930 Speedster Convertible Sedan (4th photo) - fabulous Franklin albeit rather rare car. The 1929 Club Sedan (with 1930 wheels) was owned by Jerry Gray of Detroit Area (he was an engineer for GM) and they drove the car several times from Detroit to Cazenovia NY for Franklin meet (they sold it for a brass era Franklin).

Charming cars and a great experience, though most are 45mph speeds

REPLATE WHAT YOU HAVE

YOU ARE GETTING THERE

Most likely correct as to cost and as to challenge regarding a V-12 engine, but one of the best/better known V-12 Salon Special Phaetons has a fire truck engine in it and apparetly you can turn one into the other (I am not sure how, but understand it can be done - sorry I just heard they were doing it and I did not go in person to see, which is unfortunate as car was within a half hour drive when being restored). That said though you will still need a distributor and cylinder heads as those are Auburn specific parts.

Recapture headling as a 42 Custom Super Clipper or whatever it is called in 42 to designate that i is a Senior Series Car (this is a whole different ballgame than a standard 42 Clipper)

Thanks, I sent him over a note to inquire - thinking no, but worth asking nevertheless

The WOKR / Club has been around a long time and so has the collecor car hobby - maybe another 1 or 2 cars out there somewhere (one in a garage unfound, one in a collection where the person could have cared less and tucked it away, and/or perhaps one overseas = all a best case scenerio), but what is known is pretty much what survives.

The Schott family destroyed a lot of businesses (Marge in particular). That said, I was always fond of her "How Yu Doin Honey"

I think most people are near clueless on what kind of money goes into a large/larger 30's car - A friend was just complaining of: Rewood 20K by an Amish fellow - actually a good deal, bodywork 20K and only just in primer so far, chrome 40K and still a small amount to do, missing and broken die cast parts 10K, engine rebuild 35K, radiator 5K (actually a good deal for a new honeycomb), paint work ?, assembly ?, interior ?, and a lot of little stuff ? Oh, and this was a previously "restored car" that was pretty respectable and only taken off the road for a paint color change and when they started looking harder .... And, it is being done for show (via getting on show field based on looks and rarity), though not as a 100 point car.

he king seeley gauge is nothing but a barrel full of problems - you can put a piece of colored plastic paper in front out it or in it (or drop in a piece of colored ribbon or ... and just make do. Sometimes someone has an original gauge that has not yet turned to dust - though chance of getting that to work is not high. They are reproduced though not cheap - https://straight-eight.com/ (and you can get them to work for a limited time period). The original fluid was corrosive and the die cast is at the end of its life.

WTB 1929 640 Outer Running Board Molding (I am looking for a Brass molding to replate)

While I am a fan of Club Sedans and have taken on my fair share of projects that are near hopeless in most people's eyes, there is a REALITY that the periodic car parted out allows for several others to see the roadway - I am all too familiar with Auburn stories where someone takes on a car too rough and without the proper skill set or resources and unfortunately it eats into the parts supply and hurts everyone. Sidenote: a few choice words for the fellow, but he lost over time 3 flywheels, clutch assemblies, and pressure plates (among a few other parts too)for my 1936 Auburn 852 - lets just say I am glad I have friends as when people see me coming they are now quick to roll their eyes and say I am unnecessarily eating up the parts supply (as in no one will be getting any of the same parts as I wiped out the supply of spares).

WTB 1929 Packard 640 Outer Running Board Molding (it would be Brass and I would be replating it) - I do not want aluminum ones as this car had a brass set.

Apparently, via update it was caught up in customs and owner has not been able to get car.

Well, not all things come to a good end via being spotted this week in Hong Kong (and the once awesome Ferrari 330 in front of it was not the better) - for a car that probably only had been wet a dozen times in its life and equally spent its life in half million to million dollar garages with such as heat and A/C. A shame someone would buy something and move it around the glob to put it in harms way !

19" ?

It was a blast of a time meeting them over there to pick up the car - hunted through a whole household and a packed garage and unfortunately I did not spot any extra parts other than a second grease gun. THANKS !!!

Yes, I never registered the year of manufacture plates to the car (I had registered it with historical tags as when I did licensing I still had not found a set of 1932 Ohio plates that I liked the number on). AKA - Glad I did not have to explain that to a Police Officer or Sherrif.

This should sell for 300K - it is what you really want in a V-16 (may not be "restored", but in condition it is fabulous).
