I am sure he would be happy to! I will acquire the relevant information and add the vehicles to the registry.
I'm very impressed by this website, far more information than I ever expected to discover.

It's great to be able to build up a picture and pass on the story of such automobiles from the past. Obtaining such information on pre war autos from the states here in the UK isn't that easy. Gerry has pre war Studebaker, Pierce Arrow, Cadillac's, Lincoln, Packard's, Hudson's, Reo and Le France as well as British marques.
It is a great pleasure taking them around from time to time to classic/vintage shows and just chatting for hours about them.

Hello Owen.
The theft proof number is <412XXX> actually the number 1 looks more like a capital letter I. So from your analysis then the body was initially produced in 1938. I presume this might have been done in anticipation of an order or possibly a cancelled order from that year? I don't have chassis number to hand as the vehicle documents are away on change of ownership and I haven't located one from a quick look around! Would that assist in tracing any previous ownership/history details that may exist? Regards Russ

Hello Roger.
Thank you for that information! My friend (Gerry) only acquired the vehicle one week ago, so the one you mentioned as being registered in Slough would be the same vehicle. Regards Russ

Hello Owen.
By theft proof number would you mean the number pressed into the bulkhead firewall on the upper right hand side? Regards Russ

An elderly friend as just acquired his third Packard a 1939 1708 Limousine. Being 84 he has no conception of the internet so I try and help out providing what information I can find out. I have been delighted to acquire owners, shop and data manuals from this site already, so many thanks to the gentlemen who have provided that technical information.
We are in the UK (Somerset)so information is scant, I would appreciate any information someone may have of this particular model so I can build up a story of it! I would expect few examples to still exist, would there be any specific information relating to numbers built and still surviving (I am aware some 446 V12 automobiles were built in 1939) All relevant stories/information appreciated. She has come through a 10 year restoration here in the UK. Regards Russ Attach file:  (34.61 KB)
