Thanks, Kev
He may have sold the LeBaron dual-cowl to Bob Lee, which may be where all those Lions came from. Lyon sold Lee the blue boattail, and then recently bought it back. If Lee does have the dual-cowl phaeton, then he would be the third collector to have one-each of the real LeBaron boattails and phaetons, because he had two real boattails for a while.

Let me modify my statement, then. Lyon is the ONLY person to have real versions of both boattails offered by Packard. He has the 734 Speedster (salmon colored car in your last photo) and the blue LeBaron Twelve.
