The source for all of the spoken input was from the guy I bought it from. He claims to have gotten it from the son of the original owner. I have an Illinois title with the original owners name on it, but there appears to be no one in that area with that name. The story that my seller tells is that when he bought it from the son, that his father was a Packard employee in Chicago and that he had all of the work done at the dealership he worked at. When I bought it he said it had the 374 C.I. engine. That was really all I had to go by until I got the numbers. However your right whatever the case I do seem to have a mystery car and it is my intent to leave it exactly the way it is and show it that way. I will make no claims of originality, only that this is the way I bought it period.
