This is the Dick Saunders Creation. I remember this car when Dick owned it. The motor number for this car is 904080; I am glad to see that it still has the same motor that Dick put in this car back in the 50's. He had paired it with twin superchargers, he did love his power. Before Dick placed the Packard V-12 in this car, he had a Marmon V-16 motor with 1936 Packard chassis along with this 1929 Auburn body. He was a true pioneer when it came Packard Hotrods. Dick would be pleased to see this car today; he was very proud of it

I see that Dick Saunders Creation is back on the auction block. It being advertised by Mecum as a 1936 Packard Twelve Boattail Speedster crediting Dutch Darrin as the coach builder. I remember this car when Dick owned it. The motor number for this car is 904080; I am glad to see that it still has the same motor that Dick put in this car back in the 50's. He had paired it with twin superchargers, he did love his power.

The owner wanted the car placed in their living room. I found the picture on Instagram (#packard).

Check out this unlike lift of a Packard to the 7th floor of an apartment building on the coast of Florida.

The weather was perfect. Lots of great cars to enjoy. Here are pictures of the Darrin's. The white one is a 41 and the red one is 40.

My father had a 56 400 column shift standard. Here is a picture. I have often wondered where this car ended up. It was sold in the late 80's.

Thanks

Here is a 56 Executive 4 door Sedan out of Saratoga NY. Sounds like a solid 2nd owner car with 42,000 miles. Original owner was a Packard Dealer in Mass. Here is the link:

1956 Packard Executive 4 door Sedan-42,000 miles, second owner car, original owner was a Packard Dealer out of Deerfield Mass. Transmission was rebuild by a man with Packard Talent. Well worth looking into......
