Flivverking Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Snapped a couple of shots of this not so little beauty ,that may be interesting to a few Parkhard enthusiasts. More Unrestored then not with some near match spray can silver gray over some rougher surface metal spots and sports now rusting through wire wheel repaint of many years ago. The real brown leather upholstery was holding on.. I saw a great "sharp as razor "older gal hanging on this open bus, talking to someone about the car but I didn't hang around to quiz her. Who can guess the specs? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love those unspoiled original cars when they appear which is only too rare now. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Great looking Packard, not sure I have ever seen this one before, plate looks relatively new, wonder if it is a long term CT car? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackmac Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 This car is a Standard eight 1401 model but features Super 8 or 12 bumpers. Great photo! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1935Packard Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) Oooooh, I like this! The brown leather upholstery is the same that my 1207 Coupe Roadster came with when it was new. And it has the correct pattern on the (likely original) top boot, too, which you don't often see. Awesome. In addition to having the Su8/12 Bumpers, it has what I believe are the Su8/12 headlight spears.

TAKerry Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Thats a great looking Packard. I think I would have to at least restore/repaint the engine and let the rest go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
