Many years back i remember talking to a man who claimed to have tha ex-Juan Peron 1939 Packard Derham parade phaeton. There was another bouncing around at the time that was also claiming to be it. If i remember he put a Cease-and-Desist Order on the owners of the other car. Ill go digging through my stuff and see if his name pops up. I remember him having a southern accent. Arkansas comes to mind but its been a good 20 years.

Which everything was that easy to find

Didn't we just touch on this a week or two ago? The thread had photos of both cars, and some discussion about the origins. Can't remember the title of the thread but the search function ought to find it.

Don't need to go too far to find it O_D, it's in this thread a couple of pages back, here!

Thanks Mal. And so Randy Berger just advised me by email. Creeping senility is my excuse.

Interesting photos of Packards of Emperor Kang. Wonder what those RAD CAPS were and there seems to be an extra step or boot scraped added to the rear of the running brds on both cars.

And what is the device on the front wheels of both cars?

Barry, Mal, I see the whatsoever too.
