If you look at the hoods on #25 and #26 the Henney badging is visible. Also this article from the July 1, 1941 local paper here stating Lem Bridgers picked up #25 at the "Packard" factory in Freeport, Illinois.

I do know that #25 (the 1941 being restored by ChromeCars in Lasdorf,Germany) and #26 (a 1940 twin to #25) were built by Henney! The earlier ones we have no idea who stretched and built them! Can't wait to see how #25 turns out.This is #25 when she was in service with Smoky Mountain Tours. Steve

Where would you like the pics put. The post below mine has a link to some of the pics but I have others also. Am meeting with Smoky Mountain Tours former owners son on Friday after tracking him down and am hoping to have an answer to the bogey or steerable question and other answers also. I'm very excited!

Is anyone interested in Packard sightseeing coaches? My Dad worked for Smoky Mountain Tours Company here in Asheville and they had a large fleet of stretched Packards they used from the 1930's into the early 1950's around the mountains here. I have acquired a few pics if anyone is interested and I am always trying to gather info and new pics for my research into this company and its Facebook page. Would be glad to post if anyone wants to see them.
