Ovalrace25 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Can anyone help with a good mascot? How about some close up photos of the windshield posts and hardware? I would like some detailed photos to look over if you can help..Thanks!Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen_Dyneto Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Don Summer, American Arrow Corp. Cast in stainless steel and polished, a superb piece and priced accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Neat car, Rod. Is that a 633? We had a phaeton just like that for quite a while. It was originally owned by the former president of Guatemala. We could never get the water pump "right", and finally got frustrated enough to just sell it. Many, if not most, of the 1929 models were retrofitted with the side-mounted water pump, but ours, (perhaps because of being in Guatemala), never got changed.

West Peterson Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Yes, I noticed that. Do you know where it was originally exported?Our speedometer was in kilometers, but it didn't work and was replaced with miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalrace25 Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Sorry, I dont know the history of the car prior to the late 40's. The car had been freshended up by Packard in 1951. Some things were changed at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 If you are still in need of a mascot I may be able to help, a local fellow had one for sale here in CT, what I am not sure of is what years it spans 28 - 32? No idea of price but will ask if you want and PM you his contact info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
