Thought you might enjoy seeing these. And yes, they are real... and yes, they are original! Now... whatever happened to the little triangle medallion and Henney logos that MichaelP once posted on here? Attach file:  (464.59 KB)

These are gold, and the ones on the car look chrome.
Is that correct?

Which car? There were 6 Pan Americans... and keep in mind that several of these cars were modified. Pan Am #1 was hugely modified. Anyway... the original door logos were in gold, as you see here.

Hi Leon
Were those spare scripts in the event of damage or removed from one of the cars during modification? Steve

The picture of the modified car, looks like the script is chrome, I can't tell on the gold colored car what color the script is. The other pictures in the article are black & white so no discernible color.

Hi Steve... Neither. The logos here are from a Pan American currently undergoing restoration. They are dead original, just as they were removed from the car. Very delicate pieces too! But all intact. But... it would be nice if I could get my hands on the medallions that MichaelP posted on here a few years back. Wonder where they ended up?

Okay, all of this stuff will be covered in the upcoming article to be published in The Packard Cormorant magazine. However, in the meantime, both the white car and the gold car were extensively modified, with the white car being the worst of the two. So I don't recommend going by much of anything you see on either of these two cars as a historical reference. Again, the original Pan American door logo scripts were gold plated. Trust me on this.

Not too shy to talk

Pan American excitement aside, what info on prototype Caribbean? Did I mention I have two different shades of green on the fenders other than the original brown green?
