Chandler Packards

[West Peterson]

I relation to what the other V-windsheild Packards sold for at the Otis Chandler sale, the 1933 convertible sedan was a whopping good deal. A mostly original car, but very presentable, it sold for $687,000. Given that the absolute best professional restoration in the world shouldn't run more than $300,000, the buyer will still be in it for less than a million. (Of course, if it's restored, in my opinion, the value of the car would be less. It's too nice to restore.)

Yep, 'Whopping' is a Good Word for 'That Kinda Money'. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

For little over an average of those prices i am fully confident that along with about 6 other master craftsmen (men like Albert et-al) we could fully tool up an assembly line to hand build any one of those cars to identicle exactness (IN EVERY WAY) in less than two years.

It's already been done on Model J Duesenbergs. I think every single part has been remanufactured except the engine block itself. Even frames have been made. There was a brand new head at Hershey.
