Wanted 1940's Packard Taxi Cab ......

[DaveBerg]

I would like to purchase a 1946 or so Packard Taxi Cab. Preferably a car that is decent to look out and mechanically reliable or even a restored car would be fine. Nice clean, quick, and easy deal if you have the right car. Contact davbergltd@aol.com Any help appreciated. Thanks. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

There was a nice one at the AACA national show at Metropolis in 2004.

I like the opening rear window.

The name of the owner would be in the AACA program.

or you can reach him via Packard Club - this is the only one I've seen, and he comes to a number of mid western meets

Thanks very much to both of you for your responses. That is indeed a nice car. I am familiar with it and have tried to purchase it in the fairly recent past. Unfortunately for me the owner is still enjoying it and it is not for sale. I dont blame him. I wouldnt sell it either. I told him to figure out what he thought it was worth, then multiply that by 1.5 and tell me the number. Even that didnt work! thanks again guys, I appreciate the attempt. We'll just keep looking. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

This look like a good candidate for taxi clone.

Thanks for your message. when I saw that one on ebay I must admit I did get excited. It was the correct color from what I could tell. However I do want an authentic one so I guess I will wait a bit longer.

Thanks again though.
