It’s now a light green, which is a crime. Ed: I've wondered if they could be the same car, though the Central Park/Davis image was a 1931 Deluxe Eight 845 and the green one a 1932 Deluxe Eight 904. I suppose it may have gone unsold during 1931, had the 1932 radiator, bumpers etc. applied to keep it current. Of course, Waterhouse may have bodied more than one...or we like to hope so. While we're thinking of Waterhouse, did that 1931 Pierce-Arrow Model 42 Waterhouse sport sedan ever turn up? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve I have the Waterhouse info somewhere and don’t remember if they listed more than one. I will check.

edinmass Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) Eleven Sport Sedans built on Packard chassis………so it’s unlikely to be the same car. I should have caught it…..but for some reason I thought it was a unique build and didn’t check in it. The Pierce sedan seems to be lost to time despite rumors that it’s hidden some where. The green sedan is a fantastic car…….and a 904 is my absolute favorite Packard platform.

Are the Waterhouse production records available in print or are they in a private collection? I haven't had the pleasure to experience that wonderful Packard 904 Waterhouse sport sedan in person or any 904 in its function, so your endorsement confirms what I suspected. In pure aesthetic terms, the Packard 904 Waterhouse sport sedan is the distilled essence of Classic proportions and elegance. What a tragedy the Pierce-Arrow 42 Waterhouse sport sedan has been lost.

That was the platform for him to stand up on and wave to the crowds. He was 'only' 5'8" in height, and wanted to appear taller. Reportedly, Hitler never had a driver's license, and was always chauffeured anywhere he needed to go, and rode shotgun in the passenger seat. As per this book, https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250069726/thedevilsmercedes , all 'his' cars were actually owned by the German government motor pool and were.

nzcarnerd Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 A photo posted by Rocky Hill on a facebook page - "A 90 year old photo of my grandparents and great-grandparents. That spare tire cover reads "EN-AR-CO Motor Oil / National Refining Company / White Rose" (gasoline). My great-grandfather worked at National Refining Company all his life. What kind of car did he have?? (Findlay, Ohio, 1932). More re the oil company - question - "Did Nat'l Refining eventually turn into Marathon? - answer - "Yes, I think you're right about that. And, it was Ashland Oil Co. for many years after it was Nat'l Refining. I remember my grandfather working at Ashland Oil until his passing in 1965..." I think the car is something mid price from circa 1925-26 but not sure just what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
