Has the split windscreen and can also see where the chrome trim piece was, or its very rusty, which ran down the centre of the roof from the windscreen back.

Hi
That's an attractive 'bitsa', though LeBaron, in its original custom coachbuilder form, rolls over in its grave every time it get 'credited' with one of these. The body and hood are from the four passenger Sport Model 224 from First through Third Series Sixes and Model 246 as First and Second Series Eights. That factory body was lower and narrower, close-coupled, have rear doors hinged at the front. It would be more desirable mounted on its original chassis as those Sport Models are very rare. The headlights are '31-'32 Chrysler Imperial units, the fenders: rear perhaps 12th-17th clam-shelled to together to make pontoons, the front maybe 12th-15th Series around the wheelhouse, severely bobbed. Radiator shell looks to be 9th-10th Series chopped to fit the hood height. How they came up with the face trim is someone else's guess. As desirable as a '30 745 chassis is and have been frequently re-bodied, this version might well come in for that given the rare, Sport Model body it has for an earlier Eight restoration. If anyone follows its auction, I'd be interest to learn what it sells for. Steve Might as well add a CL Pick: A '46 Custom Super LWB, with '48 327, O/D, California transplant: huntsville.craigslist.org/cto/d/for-sale-1946-packard-custom/6344503560.html Attach file:  (97.37 KB)

Just can't stay away

Won't the 327 engine take away from it being a full classic?
