Posting this picture for Jim Pearsall. Photographer not know but picture labeled as Retro Barcelona (Spain) December 1908. The car is a 1934 Eight, model 1100; looks quite nice except for incorrect sidemount cover and missing crank hole cover.
Jim asks if anyone has any details of the car and/or it's owner. If so, please post here or send me a PM. |

| Not the greatest picture quality, a print from a very old slide taken by this writer at Hershey about 1964 - 1968 perhaps. I believe this is either a 4th or 5th series 48 Imperial Limousine, body type #69. As I remember this car was being used as an ambulance for a private church-supported hospital in southern New Jersey at the time it was "discovered" and bought for restoration. Takes a tall garage to house this lovely example of early Packard elegance. |

This picture and the following information on this photo provided by notable Packard historian Jim Pearsall:
"Subsequent to Mrs. Packard?s ownership the car later was owned by a funeral parlor in Warren, and I suspect that?s the original source of the photo. It was published many years ago in an article in ?Cars and Parts,? although I don?t recall who wrote the article, possibly Hugo Pfau."

| Franay of France did a number of bodies on Packard chassis in the late 30s, several of them are pictured in Hugo Pfau's nice book. This lovely one-off had an interesting history, ordered originally by a French aristocrat and taken over by the Nazis after the fall of France, and used by the Military Governor of Paris as a staff car. When the Germans fled, the car was picked up, repainted in US olive drab, and used by the US armed forces. It suffered a serious accident and was bought and returned to the States in 1953 by a US military man and underwent a restoration about 20(?) years later. It was exhibited at Pebble Beach this year and pictured in the current (December 08) issue of Car Collector magazine. Current owner is in New Jersey. Photo by my friend Jeff Guss on 12/7/08 at the CCCA Metro Region Christmas Party. |

| 41 swb 160 Rollson Panel Brougham

| Here's a fairly interesting car, photographed by this writer at the 2004 CCCA Grand Classic in Mt. Olive, NJ. It's a one-off panel brougham on a short wheelbase by Rollson which is unusual enough, but the fact that it was based on the less expensive 160 rather than the more luxurious 180 is interesting. In discussing this over the years with the owner (Kevin Gaffney of NJ, now deceased) we came to the conclusion that since a bare chassis wasn't offered and the entire body and all the interior rear of the windshield was to be scrapped, it made no sense to purchase the 180 just to throw all the additional value in the scrap bin. |

| 1932 Twin Six convertible victoria by Dietrich (chassis 906, 147 inch wb, body style #2072) photographed by this writer at a regional VMCCA meet in Allendale, NJ about 1966-68. I don't recall the owner but the car carried CT license plates. The dual rear-mounted spares was a very uncommon feature. |
