Walt G Posted January 26, 2022 Author Share Posted January 26, 2022 Pak-Age-Car made by the Package Car Corporation of 1002 Capitol Avenue, Indianapolis, Indiana , this address is for their "General Service and Sales Headquarters" . Not sure if the production facility was at the same location. Rear engine power plant could be detached for service "It can be replaced by a spare power plant within 15 minutes beside the curb" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not related to the Stutz Package car which become Diamond T Package car? We have a forum member that has the Stutz version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted January 26, 2022 Author Share Posted January 26, 2022 No mention of the Stutz connection on the item I got this from- a factory publication which has other images of the engine, dashboard ( it was center steering) etc. and I don't have time right now to cross reference, but I am guessing that they were connected some how. What amazes me is the elaborate pin stripe on the wheels! wow. I have way to much stuff to share. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a great start on a late 1930's dry lakes race car, the center steering and removable engine pieces, not the brick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 1934 Lancia with a Glaser body , photo taken in Europe when the car was new. Note body tag at the bottom of the cowl and how the fenders wrap very low around the tire , cycle fenders and lack of running boards. Not a large car but very well balanced design/styling wise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) Tornax 1934-1937 was made in Germany. The quality of the print is poor as not enough contrast between the land and the top of the hood but such a strange car I had to share it with you. May be hard to see but the side of the chassis seems to carry a series of louvers or louver like application from front to back. Although the car was made in Germany I wonder if this photo wasn't taken in the USA? Look at the cars in the back ground - aren't they all American makes? Perhaps this photo was taken in the late 1940s? SO if it was taken in the late 1940s - does the car still exist?

I born and raised in the Chicago area. A neighbor gave me a 1958 Packard station wagon the had been rear ended. Someone built a plywood truck box and cut off the wreckage. When I needed parts for it I would visit Pingree Grove to visit what was known as the PPP farm. Packard’s, Peerless’s and Pigs. Can’t remember his name but he was in the salvage business. I remember seeing a car body there that later was identified as some experimental Cord body. Built by Central body to my memory. Is that the same car?
