VERY interesting 1934 Packard. Twenty four years ago my first Packard was 1934 1105-734, Super 8, 7-passenger sedan.

I notice several things on your Packard: First, appears the front bumper is a replacement from who-knows-what. Second, rear bumper appears to be mounted upside-down - notice the Packard "shield" in the center. Also, the center slits are not pierced (cut-out)- I thought only the 1935 bumpers were not cut-out and painted black. Third: the headlamp buckets are painted and not chromed - Euro-spec lighting? Fourth: neither the headlamps or fender lamps have the Vee shaped lenses - again, Euro-spec lighting?

By the way, if you are going to restore the car I have a complete set of the guages you are missing. If would would like photos, then send me a PM (private message) with your e-mail address and we can talk.

Thanks and powodzenia, --Roger--
