Guest Ron Haskell Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hi. I am a first time poster. I have an old Packard frame that I would like to find out what year it is. It has a 133" wheel base, 20" solid wheels, there is a number stamped on the front round crossmember DR17003T. There is a number stenseled on the frame 9-22-26 that possibly could be date of production. It would be good to put this in the hands of someone who would appreciate it for more than scrap.

tfee Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Ron, the 133" wheelbase and date would make it a model #333 which was made in four body styles (maybe more) and it would have a straight six cylinder engine. How complete is it? Can you share some pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ron Haskell Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Here are some pictures of the chassis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfee Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 It looks like it's in pretty good shape with some additional coil springs. Someone out there could certainly use it, why not move it over to the Packard buy/sell forum? Another good sight for Packard lovers is Packardinfo.comIf you're looking for a value I saw a couple of frames on eBay last week and the seller was asking $14,000 for one and $23,000 for another however the seller was obviously insane. He will no doubt be buried with his frames. To be fair he did have some rusty body sheet metal on his frames and they did have engines. Nevertheless I would think that if you got $250 to $500 for it you should count yourself lucky. Sure it's rare but so are people that are looking for just a frame. Good luck.Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Frame Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 The number stamp may be 1926. The frame predates 1932 because Packard started using X-braced frames in that year. The 133"wb falls in the 1926 year.Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
