Thanks for doing that, it was right side up on my desk top but when I posted it it turned side ways and I am not profishent at being able to correct it. Also ,being new to this system, I haven't figured out how to see the prewar entries in the registry ???

I'm attempting to add some pictures. I wasen't sure whether to put the here or in archive???

Hello again, I am happy to know exactly what car I have, and appreciate all the help I received. I attempted to register the car a couple times before but was confused when the numbers didn't work with the year car I thought I had. I will take some pictures and get it handled.

Hello,
There are a few things I have to do to make it drivable and presentable
but it is cleaning up nicely. I will do tires, check all systems and I do have to replace the top material. There is no dents in the body and no rust. The paint is original and way too nice to do anything but hand rub it back to shine. The headliner is still in good condition, seats original and not torn. The carpet is suspect??? The engine is free and turns over nicely, I haven't fired it up yet.The car shows 62K miles, doesn't sound like a lot but considering the roads back them it may be. The car was sold by Earl C Anthony Packard in Los Angeles, Ca. I have old registrations that go back 45 years, looks like it was always a California car.
This is my first Packard ever, I have always been in the old car hobby, or addiction, and most of all enjoy preforming CPR on one that has sat for a very long time. What a thrill when they fire up and come back to life!!! You can almost hear them say THANK YOU!

I will send one as found in the barn, let me know if the picture comes thru.

Hello Marston,
That would be great. How long have you been into Packards?Ken

Does the 283 prefix number on the body tag mean anything ?

Hello again David Down Under,

You were correct , I found the engine number right where you said it was. U117443E.Thanks Ken

Thanks, I am anxious to establish the year and model. It's looking like it is a 1927, touring sedan. I guess back then you could order one with duel side mounts and a factory trunk rack??? I have DMV registration paperwork going back 45 years, it was mistakenly registered as a 1923. I really don't care what year it is, as long as i know for sure. The car is nice and it doesn't matter,,, like a nice lady, it doesn't matter who drove it before.

I found the frame number, 117538,,,the firewall number is 117549,,, I haven't found the engine number, shouldn't it be on the block casting? I appreciate all the help I'm getting, you Packard guys know how to make a guy feel welcome!
