Thank you!

What exactly does this starter fit? It's smaller than a Twelve starter, so I'm assuming a Packard Eight? The model is an Owen Dyneto DN 1298

I never understood why these Concours shows have cars parked around a body of water where the land slopes down towards the water. Pretty dumb if you ask me.

If the seller can't prove it's history and existence back to at least the 1960's, I'd say buyer beware.

One thing left out here is that the owner of this car at the time DROVE it to Warren from New Jersey. It wasn't trailered and no one followed him in a modern car either. I think he even had a minor mechanical issue along the way and he fixed it himself using his own ingenuity and skill. I believe he had owned it since at least the 1960's. I also remember he had it running at one point on the show field and someone said, "oh, he's going to start it up." The person next to him replied "it IS running." It was that quiet you couldn't hear it idling. That meet represented the end of an era in some ways. A lot of owners who brought cars had owned them since the 1950's or 60's, and the Warren 1999 Centennial Meet was their last hurrah. That was 17 years ago now. How many are no longer with us?

While the subject car here certainly received an authentic restoration in good colors, part of me liked it the way it was too. Just a driver condition car in mostly original condition save for the decades old, slapped on white paint job. It seemed more like a real car in 1999. One you could get in and drive and have fun with, which is exactly what the previous owner did with it. Now it's just another perfectly restored car that's part of a mega collection, trailered from concours to concours and accumulating no miles. The guy with the hard hat is the one who really enjoyed the car.

Is that the correct deluxe heater for a senior series 1937 as well?

I was under the impression this was an authentic car. It was restored in the mid 1990's by the Wendling Bros. Or is this a 645?




Another suggestion would be to look in old CCCA magazines from the 1950's & 60's and see if there are any shown that look somewhat original.

Do you guys this this is a real Golden Anniversary car? The whole car has been repainted, including the firewall. I guess the only way to tell would be to see it in person & look under the dash for the gold color on the inside of the firewall. It looks like the spare tire wheel has been repainted as well.

Today I bypassed the electric rotary pump with some neoprene hose & clamps. I drove the car 10 miles and it ran great, never starving for gas. So the problem is the mechanical pump can't pull enough gas through the electric rotary pump. I'll have to either find a different electric pump that will let enough gas flow through it, or install one of those bypass/check valve systems.

The restored dark green 1938 Twelve convertible sedan in West Virginia has green cloisonne medallions on it too. I don't believe it did originally though.
