No, should be 4.

it is a Packard, but it makes my toes curl. What a beautiful car but why would you butcher it like this?

It seems to me that I have seen this car before, and in a lot more detail. The seller wanted six figures for it; but any relation to Packard has to do with the exterior design.

Check out the interior: It has an aftermarket steering wheel way too small for what would have come with the car in 1934; I can see only a gas pedal (modern aftermarket), but no clutch pedal (I don't even see a brake pedal, for that matter!); it has modern bucket seats; the shifter is definitely wrong and is most likely the automatic transmission shifter. Strangely, there is no window control at all on the door.

The V-8 engine looks good all chromed and I like the embossed "Packard" on the valve covers. No one puts that much chrome on an engine unless the car is a custom rod used mainly for show. The side mount covers should extend all of the way over the tires and they look suspiciously like they are fiberglass.

I honestly have no idea what I would do with a car like this: I wouldn't bring it to a Packard meet or attempt to register it as a real 1934 Packard. It is definitely too much to use as a daily driver. Simply put, it's all too much!

Hi

I too suspect that Saratoga Springs auction convertible Victoria may be more fiberglass than real EGB metal. Didn't Gibbons in Nebraska run off some of those '34 repli-cars before he quit?

Some real EGB Contours:

A '51 200, looks as if a good deal was spent on paint and chrome and upholstery but all the trim didn't get re-installed:

A '52 200 Deluxe, toothy grille, list automatic but a clutch pedal, no Ultrmatic selector show in photo:

And for the 'custom' fancier, a '53 Clipper, red, white 'flames', stick, pricey:

Yes, Gibbons has several versions of the '34 Packard, and this looks to be one of those.

The owner is the guy who re-did my seats. This car has been sitting in his shop for a long time. I don't know why he calls it a 1955 Patrican instead of a 1955 400, he should know better. Or should he?

And a 36 120 coupe that has been "molested"

And another 36, this time a touring coupe
https://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/cto/d/packard-door-touring-coupe/6207811131.html

1931 and it looks like a 5 passenger coupe but the owner calls it a coupe roadster. Asking price is way out there.
