Any condition for my survivor Packard roadster. Thanks. Jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnseeker Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Unfortunately nothing real old or exotic but some press photos I just got in with the first couple being the most interesting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCK81403 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Wow, this photo takes my memory back a long way. When I was a kid in the '40s I played with a hand pulled wagon similar to the one in the photo, it had wood spokes and rims. It wouldn't stand up to much use and abuse. Because of dryness and age it eventually began falling apart, as did grandma's old wooden tub, primitive washing machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) Nice aftermarket body on a 1930 Ford commercial chassis. The cowl is the same as a Roadster but has a different top and no lower windshield station brackets. You can just see the cutout for the upper Roadster door hinge above the spare tire, A pillar back is all aftermarket body.

I am guessing someone was just walking down the street and said this should be interesting to watch (the car appears incidental to the group of people behind - I am almost wondering a pedestrian was hit in street) - and then the photo survived. The original posted photo caught my attention... I'm sure I had seen the car before - then I found the photo I was thinking of... It appears to be a Bentley 6½ Litre Speed model, chassis KR2699 delivered Nov. 1929 with Gurney Nutting coachwork - Olympia show car, 1st owner W.J. Hargrave Pawson after the show. The rest of the details would be fun to know (and probably are known within another source... just not to wit at the moment)... but it's clear it's not the same spot (given the tree near the door in the original posting's image is not in the "new" image)... indeed, something's going on behind the car in the quoted image, and the ladies in both shots look to be dressed differently, but that may be explained by the coat she's wearing in this new post's image... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58L-Y8 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 The banner on the wall to the right reads, "Pierce-Arrow Pacific Sales Co." one of the Pierce-Arrow Sales Corporation operations. The sale of the Pierce-Arrow Sales Corporation division of the company was a condition for the million dollar loan by the Buffalo banks after the 1934 bankruptcy to keep the company going. Sales would be handled by private distributors thereafter, so wrote Marc Ralston in his book. It didn't help sales. Ed, Anything to add? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCK81403 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Is there some information about this car? Is it an Auburn? Mighty strange looking rear passenger compartment. Looks like the car was side swiped by a lumber truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimy Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 9 minutes ago, 58L-Y8 said: 1934 Pierce-Arrow, formal sedan style, 1240? Yes, probably the 144" wheelbase. It has the long front door but short rear door. If both doors were short, it would be the 139" wb; if both were long, the 147" wb. However, it could be the 147" wheelbase with a deeper secluded rear compartment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Wouldn't the upper rear door corner be curved if it were based on a club sedan? It looks as if it was a six-window sedan that has had the quarter window blanked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierce Arrow - It apparently was bulletproof and obviously was hit in an accident of some sort (which I refrain from accident photos as most of the time the cars are pretty generic, but a lot of the time someone was seriously hurt).
