I like this a lot better than the white coupe.

Never saw one before. The interior looks great compared to the outside.

Nice basic Starfire. These cars have a LOT of diecast chrome trim, I would need to see more detailed pictures. Also looks like the leather seats have been redone in vinyl.

Be still my beating heart! I am a sucker for Mopar wagons.

Beautiful car! I have always wanted one of these - cannot understand why anyone would chop the top on a car like this...

The top handle is Packard pretty sure, the bottom I have never seen before, out of my 45k plus handles, but handle nose shape has almost like a early Durant form? it is chrome plated so maybe 1926-1928 Cars so probably a lower production orphan. Oh btw there Interior door handles not Trunk handles.
Cheers
Wanted to thank you again for your response. Since I used to own a 34 Packard I went back through my photos and found this picture, you are right on! These handles are currently for sale on Ebay.

When I built my first car, a 1955 Ford Victoria, a large amount of the parts needed came from the the Sears and Montgomery Ward catalogs: Rebuilt transmission, clutch kit, floor shifter, rebuilt starter and generator (12 volt conversion) and more. Another amount came from other catalogs - Warshawski's and J.C. Whitney. I lived in the Chicago suburbs and could go into the city and pick their stuff up at the Warshawski's store.

Need a lot more photos of all 6 wheels.

Beautiful car. Major fuel system changes including aftermarket carb substitution, homebuilt air filters, deletion of dual firewall mounted vacuum pumps and, I assume, an added electric fuel pump. The original Johnson carbs included look pretty but probably replaced so the car can be driven.

Beautiful car, I guess he is running an auction.

Excellent original.

Rusty,
My bold and pompous statement on acceleration was based solely on opinion with absolutely nothing to back up my claim 😁. Yes, a race is in order!
Video is required or it didn't happen.

Can't help with make of car, but that is not a sunroof - just the normal early 30s rubber roof insert.

Kind of looks like the rocker panel molding on the driver's side is keeping the car from collapsing in the middle!

The problem is that they only come chrome plated which sticks out like a sore thumb on a nickel car.
The other problem is I have yet to see a repro unit that actually looks like the real thing - wrong bezel pattern, wrong screws, glass too thin, clear plastic gaskets, etc. etc.

I never tried an engine but I did buy a "remanufactured" 1955 air cooled Fordomatic transmission. It came painted in a weird Earl Scheib like green color. It worked but I put it behind a hopped up Y-block and manually shifted it constantly with a floor shift - did not last long! Always wondered if the only remanufacturing was the paint job...

Dan: I pal put factory A/C in his B-60. By the time he got it working he was in it mid teens in costs. If you can get a retro kit and a guy who knows what he's doing you will be in the project much cheaper, a faster finish and possibly much more efficient. If you MUST have a factory air conversion I'd find a B-60 local to you and swap. You can find beat B-60's for cheap with factory air somewhat locally especially in Texas where many factory A/C units were sold new. That would give you a road map and a much better shot compared to doing components from here and there.
I did it once in a 67 Corvette and that was tough job. Mitch
Thanks Mitch. I most likely will do a retro install, most likely a knee knocker under dash. However some factory parts especially underhood are still needed and If I can find factory stuff reasonably who knows. I've done conversions before and would at least try to DIY. I love my car and will definitely not be swapping it for another.

Great deal, no surprise it is pending sale.

No floor shifter, you are seeing the label on that jar.

?? sure.

Agree with Scott, you do not want to try removing the thermometer or bottom cap. This will most likely destroy the diecast material it was made from.

Just looked, the odd wheel is riveted while the others are welded. My spare wheel is the welded type but I really did not want mess with the (old) brand new bias ply dual stripe on there.
