tbirdman Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I ran into a Packard parts dealer at the PI meet that had an ash tray for a 32 coupe roadster. We got talking and he said it had a lid and swore it came out of a 32 coupe roadster. I bought it and he's planing to ship it to me. I can return it. All the pictures of the ash trays I have seen, do not have a lid. Could this had been an option, or did all of the 32's lose there lids? <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> My 32 does noy have acover. This ash tray is located in the center of the wood grain tirm piece above the dash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Restorer32 probably has a more definitive answer, but I'm just trying to get the water stirred up a little bit, so we can beat the 22-reply record. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />I think it is correct with the cover.

Restorer32 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I'm almost sure it has a lid. Mine is stashed away at home. Mounts in the center of the upper dash trim and is removeable for emptying. I think it is chrome with woodgrained inserts. Mine is for a 900, yours may differ.

He claims it came out of a 902/903 roadster. The good thing it is chromed already and just needs woodgraing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Cuz out there on the west coast, they don't care about completing a restoration properly. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I'll try to remember to take a look at mine this evening. I have a poor quality xerox of a '32 accessory catalog. The ashtray is pictured and it does appear to have a lid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no experience either way so I have no comment just repeating what I overhead. Probably no truth to that statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Speedster Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I checked my pics but couldn't determine if I was seeing dark areas of a lid or No lid, on the '32s, but they sure looked like No lid (only a center brace). I saw one '34 that definitely had a lid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I was only pullin' your chain, but in defference to your "sources," I don't really think there is a difference between coasts, as much as a difference between individual shops.

Restorer32 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Is your ashtray a one piece affair or is the woodgrained insert removeable? I found one of the 2 ashtrays I have and it most definitely has a lid. I think I have a second one but at 9 degrees the garage was a bit cold for scrounging.

I never did see the ash tray as the vendor did not have it with them. I'll post a picture when I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
