Matt Harwood Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Is this perhaps a re-chassis? An earlier body placed on a later chassis? It has that look, although even with the more streamlined nose, I find it more graceful than many others of this body style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Transfers of high quality coach-built custom bodies from the older luxury car chassis to a new one were performed during the 1930's by various custom coach-builders in addition to their new coach-building work. There are a number of such Packards and luxury makes still extant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
