Tom Laferriere Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I have a nice running 1937 1508 Packard 12 boattail project I have decided to sell. Thinking about dragging it to Hershey or selling to a Packard person with some talent. Email me for a few pictures and price or just give me a call.Thanks,Tom Laferriere tom@tomlaferriere.com 401.651.2295Rhode Island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Boudway Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Hi Tom,Please send West a photo of the boat tail of your Packard for him to post.I saw the car in the Hershey Car Corral and it presented itself very well. The car should remain in it's present state as a great example of skill and determination.Thanks for bringing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I saw the car at Hershey, but didn't have a minute to stop and take a picture. Your two photos above show the car, but it would great if you could post a photo from the back. It's pretty cool!Did it sell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Apparently it did not sell, it is listed at $29K on PreWarCar website now by Tom. Looks interesting, of course the same restoration rules apply with expense of chrome, paint, upholstery etc. David Coco Winchester Va. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_Speedster Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Thanks for the pics.I didn't realize until now that they used a REAL aluminum Fishing-Boat for the Tail end. (complete with dock-dents and all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl B. Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Jay, thank you very much for those pictues!!!I had been wondering what it really looked like at the back end of the car. All the shots sort of left out any details. I think somoene took the term 'boat tail' a bit too far!!!!! That's really a shame that the car is messed up so. ...B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Wolf Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 If you look close on the drivers side you can even see the registration numbers of the boat peaking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Yeah, with all due respect to Tom, the car looks like a good deal from the front, V-12 and all, but then the "boat tail" takes one aback! These pics are the first I saw the back, too, I missed it at Hershey for some reason. David Coco Winchester Va. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbirdman Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Here was a 902 boattail that was for sale about 2 years ago for $60K. The custom body was believd to had been done in England and looked nice. Car did need a restoration though pretty solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLynskey Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 The '37 project was drawing a lot of attention in the Car Corral. I wondered about the history of the car. Who built it, why and when? It is certainly an unusual and interesting car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Mack_CT Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Actually body by "Sea Nymph" circa 1973 or so... This is my (or my son's really) boat. Not for sale but may consider it if someone really needs it to convert their Packard.On a serious note, completed a business deal with Tom this week, and I am thrilled with the car (Packard 120) and just as important, with dealing with Tom. He is a true enthusiast first and also a stand up businessman. Can't recomend him enough. A highlight of the fall season for me included a couple rides in his 1906 Wayne and American Lafrance Speedster, big, fast and loud - great fun!

Guest BJM Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I can 2nd the comments on Tom. Although I ended up not getting his friends car he was offering, I always got quick responses and contact #'s in an age when sometimes you never hear back from a seller.
