"The Classic Car", Summer 2013 issue

Posted by Owen_Dyneto On 2013/6/13 10:27:52

For those of us enamored of the prewar Packards recognized by the CCCA and "Full Classics", you'll find the subject issue (Volune LXI, No. 2) particularly appealing. If you're not a member, try to borrow that issue for some great reading. Though there are about 100 makes of cars that had at least some models designated as CCCA Classics, this issue has a very large Packard content. The Packard-related articles with many fine (and some very rare) illustrations are:

After the Crash, Packard's Evolution and Revolution.

1931 Packard 845 Newport Sport Sedan by Dietrich.

Some 1929 and 1930 Packard Speedsters.

Coachwork Lines: Packard at the 1926 Salon.

My Packard of a Lifetime (*).

Portfolio of 1932 Dietrich Packard Designs.

1932 Packard 906 Twin Six Convertible Sedan by Dietrich (the former Al Jolson car).

(*) An armor-plated Twelve (with 3-inch thick glass) limo from Russian government service.
