West, Are you going to the KC national? If so, I can treat you to a libation there for the "reflections on a theme of '32 Ford yearning to become a Packard"

I will not be there, but my 1940 Packard may be there, as I sold it to a gentleman from Illinois who said he may go. The car was delivered new in Kansas City area.

Atlantic type 57S is a faithful recreation of Jean Bugatti’s black car, known as “La Voiture Noire” that Tom's team scratch built from blueprints and archival photos. It will be the only one in the world.

Not quite sure about "only one in the world," as there are other replicas of the Atlantic. Unless they are referring to a few unique design features of that specific car.

Dave could very well be correct that it's an Eight. I'm just saying it could also be a Super Eight, with Eight bumpers on it.

1934. Eight (1100-01-02). Car pictured is an 1101.

Major visual clues for 1934 are the gas tank filler in the rear taillight and the skirt and crown of the front fender. Size of front bumper end cap identifies it as an Eight.

You might also take note of the metal-plated inner tube valve stem covers, 1934 was the last year for their useage.

The size of the front bumper does not necessarily peg this car as an Eight. There are many cases where Eight bumpers were installed on Super Eight cars... and vice versa.

Re: Packard Darrin?

Sorry I missed this movie, I wonder if the Darrin spotted was Chester Morris own car? He had a 1938 Darrin either #3 or#4. We know that.Dutch Darrin liked to have his cars in the lime lite anyway he could.

It very well could have been Morris' car, as it appears to have running boards and a pretty severe rake to the windshield. Too bad it wasn't used more in the movie, or show better details, as the Morris car is quite unique. A much steeper rake to the windshield, being the major design difference. According to Coachbuilt.com, it was the prototype Packard Darrin (coachbuilt.com/bui/d/darrin/darrin.htm).

Re: !930 726 Standard Touring sidemount wheel locks

What Packard pit is describing does not sound like the correct Oakes lock. There are only two retracting "lugs" (ears) on the Oakes lock, and he describes four. A photo would be helpful. Should look like this.

What happened to the side mount covers and the stone guard? Those always were on the car and are not easy to acquire.

Sidemount covers are on the car, and were sold with the car. They are not the same covers that Jepson installed on the car. I found an original set of Packard covers, with original Lyon-Packard emblems, and put those on the car.

The grille stone-guard was removed, as (most agree) that it destroys the looks of the car. The extra rear bumper/tail guard was also removed for the same reason.

My brother's 1929 645 phaeton has factory-original side curtains. I will see the car in May, and can take photos and provide dimensions as well.
