twin6 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Here's the Packard model C (#72) that was burned in the LA fire. It was restored, as was the 1908 model 30 runabout. How many other cars from the fire were restored? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1937hd45 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) Thank you Walt! Page 270. Bob Edited January 14, 2021 by 1937hd45 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 Bob , I was looking at the photo you shared and particularly the headlamps ( wow oh wow) on the car and wondering why you were thanking me! then read the page 270. Heck, we aren't even a year old with this thread yet! It proves to me, as I have stated before, that viewers really like pre WW II era vehicles. All total , perhaps I have contributed , maybe 30 photographs, it is all of you - from the USA, Canada, and Europe and Australia and everywhere else that have made this thread what it is. My thanks to all of you as well as the patient volunteers who keep this all together. It's all good. Walt 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have known for a long time that a bunch of historically significant cars were displayed at that show, and generally understood they were lost. I did not know of any being restored or salvaged except for a maybe a 1908ish Packard roadster (good to hear about that again). Barney Oldfield's Golden Submarine was eventually recreated after the original on display was destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Rod Blood scooped up the scraps of a Packard at that fire........he had it for years and sometime after he died, someone built the car from what was left..........not sure if it was this car, or the earlier one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Oldfield's Golden Submarine was eventually recreated after the original on display was destroyed. Before the fire. DPL writeup says "The driver is Russell Huff, head of Packard experimental branch. The passenger is Milton Tibbetts, Packard's collector/protector of patents. This car, license plate 30122 NY, was repurchased from the owner for use in testimony in a 1910 lawsuit." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different car. But they have in common that they were both restored by the late Terry Martin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
