30DodgePanel Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) Wonder what the significance was in regards to the license plate (M-1) on that last Haynes? Absolutely love the Roaster w/golf bag storage on any model. Not even a regular golfer but it adds a classy touch to any of them.

According to an 1907 advertisement they were using the "Atwater-Kent spark generator". This is a Atwater-Kent type C which looks similar to the one shown in the photo.

Also how it was in relationship location wise to the other car dealers . Great stuff Craig. A researchers delight! Walt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely love the Roaster w/golf bag storage on any model. Not even a regular golfer but it adds a classy touch to any of them. Interesting that the golf bag door is on the left. Normally on a left-hand drive car I would expect to see it on the right side. I believe though that some custom makers put one on each side. I wonder if the interior of the trunk was eventually lined or was it left with the bare framing showing. My Studebaker has its golf bag door on the right, likely because they didn't make a right-hand drive variant of the tail section, due to the very small number built. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) This turned up on a "Curbside Classics" website feature, a postcard of the L.F. Jacod & Co. Chrysler-Plymouth Used Car Lot, Englewood, NJ, ca 1937. That Packard isn’t just any production model, it’s a 1931 Packard Deluxe Eight 845 Newport Sport Sedan by Dietrich. It is an early 3-box sedan configuration with the passenger compartment forward of the rear axle plane and a coupe-style trunk integrated into the main body. It is the same body architecture as the Duesenberg J Arlington sedan by Rollston (The Twenty Grand). Three examples of the 1931 Packard 845 Newport Sport Sedan are still extant. Added a more current image of a 1931 Packard 845 Newport Sport Sedan by Dietrich for reference.

The other cars adjacent to the '31 Packard all look to be upmarket models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next to the 1931 Packard is a 1933 Chrysler Imperial coupe, then a 1933 Cadillac or LaSalle convertible coupe. The Packard convertible coupe with the light-color top in the second row looks to be a 1930 733 or 1931 833. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, we both know a great body design when we see it. This postcard image really grabbed me, absolutely the ultimate car discovery dream to find a wonderful, choice rare Packard such as this on an ordinary used car lot. Hope we're looking at one of the survivors we still have to enjoy now. Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
