Bob, thanks for the link to the QCMC overview. As I believe you know, the previous post of the 1908 Packard with the QCMC pennant shows the driver, P.D. Folwell, who was president of the QCMC in 1908 when the club sponsored the first of the Fairmount Park races. He was a speaker at the first AACA banquet and hosted the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th AACA meets at his Merion, Pa. house.

Perhaps a repeat but one of my favorite Packard Twelve phaetons, especially since I can see it every time I visit the Collier Collection.

Last I knew, Joe Van Sciver still had his and I know that he would be very happy to assist you in any way possible. I believe his is pretty original,

Moxis,

 

Good luck with the build. Keep us posted with photos of your progress.

 

As a sidenote, I have not been able to find the proper color of yellow for the 1913 Mercer. No one has (or is willing to share) a paint code.  I have been told there is considerable disagreement amongst Mercer experts as to the exact shade of yellow. 

 

If you find something, let us know.

 

Actually, you are probably being generous to call it yellow since it was closer to a not very pretty orange.

You might keep in mind that a spotlight was not correct for that year raceabout.

Send it to Nisonger Instrument on Long Island. They have been repairing them for over 60 years and they are reasonable and reliable.

A little too early for me but perhaps others will enjoy it.

Here is an interesting photo taken in 1916 of Joseph White in his 1912 Moon Roadster according to writing on back of photo. Question for Walt G. - do you think that this is the same car that Austin Clark owned in 1948 and was shown at Pebble in 2016 when it was owned by Leland and Marissa Powels ?

Not a nice way to treat what appears to be a Winton circa '06 or '07.

Do you know a reputable appraiser who could help with what mine could be worth? I feel it's difficult to compare one to another because they are all unique in their own way
