****BUMP****

I think just this one last attempt at finding this information (if it exists) - although I still haven't had the chance to drop in on Wade et al to have a look at his "Packards at Speed" book - which I still want to buy a copy of. The usual Xmas financial crunch put stop to my plans to order one of these some weeks ago, but I hope to be able to soon.

However, it seems that there is little or no information about cars of the type that I am after available. I am not going to let this get in the way of my intended project however, and after some research of the Packard history and with my knowledge of GP cars ofthe mid 1930s, I have a pretty good concept of what Packard would have done had they created a racing car in the period.

It would be a fabulous project - a bit of a study in 'what if' automotive design - and one of the best things is that I should be able to create this car without breaking up a complete existing vehicle.

I hope you all stay tuned as I will value your feed back on my concepts of both the styling and components to be used.

Cheers,
