Re: Packard-built Custom Car Records

Interesting, Dave, if you're going by the VIN.

I rode in Julian's car in 1975. He told me he loaned his speedster to Harrah's so they could cast parts from it, like manifold, head. In exchange they painted his car for him.

So I don't think this one for sale, once owned by Harrahs before being purchased by Gen Lyon, is the same as the one owned by Julian, unless Harrahs bought his after they borrowed it, but that would have been after 1975. Or their provenance isn't accurate.

Does anyone have PMC records of custom orders? Any other research suggestions on 734s or Packard-buit custom orders?
