Hi
I think the telltale is the rake angle of the wheel mounting looks too upright for a coupe-roadster. What's on the car in question looks more like those used on sedans. They definitely laid them down more in the later model years. Were there different rear mounted spare assemblies listed for the coupes and coupe-roadsters? Personally, I prefer the rear mounted spare, it allows the clean sweep of the front fenders and an unbroken lines of the hood to look so nice and long! Steve Here's an oddity, a '49 22nd Series six cylinder sedan, seller list the VIN 2282-92861. The 2282 specifies a 120" wb six cylinder sedan built for export only, not a taxi. http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/cto/5416999499.html Rough shape, still has an Ohio license plate for it appears 1962.

Small wonder, they're a pretty rare bird; taxis excluded only 800 Sixes were produced and as I understand it all those were built for export.

Back for a moment to the rear-mounted spares, I just came across the photo I was looking for of a 32 coupe that more clearly shows the clever hinged center section of the bumper to facilitate removing/remounting the spare.

If the coupe roadster is a fake that should show up in the VIN. 9th series began using the body model in the VIN.
So the VIN should be a 384ci coupe roadster body number followed by a production number. I agree that the spare doesn't look right and the ride height seems too good. Sedans used different springs and shocks so using a sedan chassis will result in a harsher ride. As well the fender lights are the later 9th series type which justifies a careful examination. However, fakes usually go all the way and add sidemouts but maybe they didn't want them in this case. At one point cars were being cut up for the sidemounts at such a high rate that people were buying rear mounted spare cars just to preserve them. What makes such abominations even more absurd is that the rear mounted spare cars drive better without all that dead weight hanging off the frame rails. Such is Packard history.

Hi
Something rarely found on CL, a coach-built '41 160 Top-Hat sedan by Rollson: http://wheeling.craigslist.org/cto/5429396778.html Handsome if archaic styling by 1941 standards. A '41 sedan, guess whether 110 or 120: http://wheeling.craigslist.org/cto/5425463188.html Finally, one elegant '51 Patrician in great condition, very much ready to enjoy: http://fortwayne.craigslist.org/cto/5422148622.html Steve

No that's a 29 engine in a 726 chassis. The 1930 steering wheel was unique to that year. The price is ridiculous even with the correct engine thrown in.
