Dave,

Was the Speedster the only Packard to have the triangular shaped base?

Richard

Does anyone know which hood ornament is correct on a Speedster, Adonis or Goddess of Speed?

Richard

Hi West,
That's a 733, remember on the Speedster you could have it painted anyway you wanted and I would assume that goes for the bumperettes.
I could be wrong.
Richard

Thanks Ross, the beltline is a silver-gray.

Richard

The great thing about owning and restoring a Speedster is; taken from the Speedster brochure.
(As with all Speedster, they are strictly custom built and may be developed in any upholstery or color harmonies that please the owner's expression of good taste.)
So when I did this color scheme I took that I could order this color combination from Packard in 1930. You could order any option you wanted such as sidemounts, trunk, visionall wipers, etc. and the price was still $6000. This Speedster Sedan has these option that the other one does not.

Richard

They were painted black when I got the Speedster and I stripped the paint off to recoat them and I liked the way the chrome reflected so I left them that way. I have seen several other Packard's done the same way. It just what I liked, not sure how it came from the factory.

Richard

Completed my restoration on the Speedster and preparing for its debut at Amelia Island, March 11th.

Yes Dave that's what I want the big K.
Another question; are all the interior fabric blue?

Richard

Attached are two K decals that came out of my two trunks, I am in the process of restoring one and need better K decals.
Does anyone know if they are reproduced by anyone?
Thanks for your help.
Richard

Sorry can't get it to attach, but they are not very good.

Roger, Big,

Iam thinking dark red or a burgundy for the wheels with matching pinstripe.
What do you two think?

Richard
