Peter Gariepy Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Not sure if this car has been modified.

West Peterson Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Yeah. They've put radial tires on it. It really ruins the whole look of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_Speedster Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I Like the Hood Ornament. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />Can't say much for the rest of it.

Guest Randy Berger Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 They didn't do very well at copying the ox-bow either. Packard's signature front end was a nice smooth arc, not a flattened one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Mack_CT Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 When that picture popped up on my screen I had all I could think of was the scene from "Animal House" - when they are reviewing pledge candidates and Flounder's picture comes up..But it does have a nice hood ornament!

Guest imported_Speedster Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Just saw a '29 633 Opera Coupe at BJ Auction, but it had Wrong carb, clear-coat paint, errors in interior and other small defects, and the bid reflected those problems.

West Peterson Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Okay, okay... now I see that the headlight lenses have been changed also.

tbirdman Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I've been told that this car is heading towards Portland Oregon. I heard it was sold again after the auction winning bid (possibly initially bought by the seller).I wonder how many people buy their own cars back if the sales price is going to make them take a bath. It's painful as they have to take a 18% hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I've been told that if you buy your own car back, the commission percentage is way different so that it doesn't "sting" so much.I've just noticed another thing that doesn't look original on this car. The exhaust system looks modified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the Serial Number plate is only a reproduction. I wonder if it is actually titled as a 1926 Packard.??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packard8 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 The only positive thing I can say is that no actual Packards were harmed during the construction of this automobile. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
