Hmmmmmm......Sold by Ira Berk, Sydney's Packard Dealer. PACA's Home Page has a couple of pic's of this dealership.
Interesting pic of the left side of the engine showing the heater hose! There doesn't appear to be an under dash heater inside the car. Looks like maybe the hose loops down to an overflow reservoir in the engine compartment?

Thanks Jim for taking the time. One too many digits in the thief-proof number, could you take another look?

That Horch is the ugliest Audi I've ever seen!

The kitchen sink thing is really bizarre but I sure wouldn't consider the car ugly. I'd consider it about 13 years ahead of its time. It's different perceptions that make the world go 'round I guess.

Oops.... How about A85488? Much easier read when the sun is on the front of the car.

Thanks Jim for the correction - the number now seems to fit in. The motor # is also suspect, should begin with a "2" following the J, J2XXXXX. Can you check that again also?
