Colin, I suspect that vehicles intended for export in certain countries were modified so that an additional fuel filler neck was on the opposite side of the country's road network. This is related to the traffic regulations and infrastructure of the destination country, particularly the location of fuel pumps at gas stations. For example, countries like Japan and the UK, which drive on the left, prefer vehicles with the fuel filler neck on the opposite side compared to countries with right-hand traffic.

5. a very downtrodden market right now, especially for project cars.

The fact that it's an 840 makes it much more desirable than an 833, but it's still a relatively staid phone-booth-style coupe (versus the much more desirable one-year-only 1934 coupe).

In my opinion (as a professional appraiser, with lifelong family ownership of prewar Packards), and based on the above 5 criteria, I'd say its value is in the neighborhood of $35,000. The value will increase with each of the five points proven wrong.

Jay Leno already has a 1932 coupe (a Twelve), and I strongly doubt he'd be interested in this car. Carini would be interested ... at a give-away price.

It would also be more helpful to know exactly what parts and condition. Is spare engine complete? Worn out? Need many more photos of the car and the parts. Also, location.


West, although you may have been hesitant given the extremely sparse data, you took the time to provide an honest and unvarnished assessment, free of illusions and six-figure fantasies. Thank you very much for that.

The vehicles of the Japanese Emperor Hirohito have often been featured on this web portal. He apparently preferred Packards.

- example 1
- example 2
- example 3

In addition to the photo of -> this interesting open Packard, I also found a picture of a Packard with the imperial insignia on the Japanese Wikipedia website.

Thanks, Jack. Even without explanation, both stories have their appeal. I would have loved to see the look on your face when you identified the OEM piston in the Studebaker.
Imagine what a brilliant ending Quentin Tarantino would give to both storylines?! In the end, everyone within a two-mile radius would be dead.
