Thank you for that info... The lack of a plate has me obviously suspicious too. I have not reached out to Jim, but I will... thanks!

Seeking info on a '34 dual cowl Phaeton

Hello-

Trying to learn a little more about a Packard I am looking at, it's a '34 1101 Eight Phaeton, but with a dual cowl Sport setup on it, advertised as a 721 body style. I have never seen an Eight as a Phaeton Sport before, I've only ever seen them in Supers and 12's, and I know they're quite rare. The Packard Eight parts list does list a 721 body style (Sports Phaeton) as an option, but it is not listed as an option in the '34 sales portfolio. Of course, there is no patent plate on the car. Embossed body number is 185827. Engine and frame #'s are both numbers for 11th series Eights. I've read one claim that Packard built 40 eights as Sport Phaetons, but I am highly dubious of that claim, and have been unable to verify that. This one was restored in the late '70's, and I'm thinking it may have been changed over then? Has anyone ever seen a real 721 before? My apologies of this has been covered previously by someone, I just couldn't find any other info about it on the forum. Thanks!
