Fred, I totally agree... that $25K doesn't add up.

I don't understand what the seller means by "mini ambulance" . His car is built on the standard 158" hearse/ambulance wheelbase, so there isn't anything "mini" about it. As to the "Nu-3-Way side serving doors", they are just standard issue Henney rear doors, which on hearses, ambulances and flower cars, opened "suicide" style.
From the way the parts are just thrown in the car, it's obvious the seller is neither very careful, nor very caring. As to price, it should be a $1000 OBO, haul it away type scenario. He might do better to show that "all original, restored chrome"....

I just went through all of this with my '51 Henney. I wound up buying a spool of copper core wire, terminal ends and boots, and a good quality spark plug wire crimper, and made my own. The largest investment was the wire crimper itself. I was very satisfied with the result.

You should do a little research on the "Volo Auto Museum"... while they do have some interesting cars, they haven't exactly been honest in describing many of their vehicles... especially those supposedly used in movies, or owned by "famous people". You should also keep in mind that while they use the word "museum" in their name, they are also a used car lot.

My friend just sent me the complete page on how many cars were produced with which colors. Here it is.

Fred, that is no doubt true. There may very well be a bunch of single colored senior cars out there, but I wonder how many, like mine, have been "dressed up" with another color?

A friend sent me this.. it seems to be a breakdown of how many Packards were produced with what color combinations. He is going to scan the complete page later and send it to me.

My car was restored...(not by me), and of course two toned, but to me, the repaint in base coat/clear coat, looks too modern and "plastic". I am also not a fan of base/clear paints, as they inevitably chalk and flake. I paint cars, so I am constantly seeing this first hand.
While I really like the two tone, I have toyed with the idea of returning it to it's single color paint scheme. Does anyone know of a surviving sold Scottish Heather 400, or perhaps have a photo of one? Although not really a primary concern to me, I assume that returning the car to it's factory paint scheme, would add to it's value? Thank you for the factory ad showing the red car and yes, it does look a mile long!
