Thanks for the nice words, West, and I'll pass them on to the owner. Other than some body panel work, paint and upholstery it was mostly an owner-done restoration, took him about 8 years. There are some pictures of it during the restoration on the PAC website which I believe you've previously seen and commented on. Sold new by Thompson Motor Co. in Beverly Hills, CA.http://www.packardclub.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2072

Ralph's '35 Graber is a car that just reeks of Werner Risch details - Risch was the Packard agent in Switzerland and had the car commissioned for the 1935 Geneva auto show. Some pre-restoration photos of it here. Of course it's a matter of personal taste but to me this car just begs to be two-toned with a lighter body color and I do prefer the "unrestored" color scheme far better than the dark brown with black leather top.http://www.packardclub.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=767
