Make a great parts car even for the price..... John

This is the Dick Saunders Creation. I remember this car when Dick owned it. The motor number for this car is 904080; I am glad to see that it still has the same motor that Dick put in this car back in the 50's. He had paired it with twin superchargers, he did love his power. Before Dick placed the Packard V-12 in this car, he had a Marmon V-16 motor with 1936 Packard chassis along with this 1929 Auburn body. He was a true pioneer when it came Packard Hotrods. Dick would be pleased to see this car today; he was very proud of it

Parts car yes... flipper no. There aren't many panels on the car that don't need major metal work.

Hi, I did not see my post. Louis

Louis-I just responded to your post in 1928 Custom-Bodied 7-Passenger Phaeton.

Looks like a good buy on a 41 clipper:

1934 California plates:

I'm not sure what to make of this. A 39 super 8 with a 38 super 8 dash. A formal sedan with screaming colors. Looks like someone take some liberties putting this together.

Based on the bit of chrome continuing from the center of the windshield up onto the top and the side hood trim, it looks like a '38 to me but my familiarity with prewar only goes back to 1941. Yeah, that color is truly unfortunate on that car.

I would guess that one could get a dalmatian dog for the front seat, put some fire department logos on the front doors and be a volunteer fireman. Other than that it has got to be one of the worst colors I've seen on a Packard and is in dire need of a paint job.
