I am the third generation owner of this one family car, but I was wondering how to determine if it is a sedan, limousine or touring model. It is a 7 passenger car.

Open the right-rear door, lift up the edge of the carpet. Fastened to the sill should be a small, rectangular brass plate, on which will be stamped the body type number followed by the production number. Let us know what you find. Is there a dealer name stamped on the firewall data plate? Thanks.

G;day worthy40,
to PackardInfo. Pictures of, or the information from, the plates mentioned should allow the experienced members here to positively identify your Packard. And a request of you, once positively identified could you please include your '28 533 in the Packard Owner's Registry here, together with a pic, any known history and how you acquired it?

I believe for your Packard to be a limousine it must have a divider window between the driver and passenger compartments. Whatever body style it is an attractive automobile.

Body #304 corresponds to a 5th Series, 133" wheelbase, 5-7 passenger sedan (no divider window). The 5-7 passenger "touring" would be an open car.

I don't know the answer to your question about value, but there are 3 major things prospective buyers will be most interested in knowing: (1) completeness & authenticity (no mongrelization), (2) condition of the wood body structure, and (3) soundness of the engine & drivetrain. If the structural body wood is in poor condition, the cost to replace/repair it to all but the most accomplished restorer will be, perhaps staggering is a bit of an exaggeration, extremely beyond any final value of a finished restoration so buyers might well be limited to just those to whom the cost of restoration (or returning to roadworthiness as an original) is not a significant factor.

Not to take the thread in an unintended direction, but the wood work, while outside a restorers normal repertoire, is quite simple. The joinery is straight forward, and there is not really that much wood to begin with. I think that it is funny for a group of guys who can turn wrenches to a few thousandths in multiple directions, are intimidated by a dovetail,and a wood plane. As for value---- mine, with most all dry rotted wood, is worth about 12 cents a pound. But one day....,

Ray,

Worth is relative. Though vehicles generally appreciate with age after a certain point, they are only worth what one would pay for said model. Check auction lists from the last three years to get a general idea. Don't be suprised to not find your model there though. I don't think there ate a lot of them out for purchase at the moment.

This car remains in Portland, Oregon. The new owner has decided to leave the car as found, with the exception of new exhaust and new wiring. A set of used tires currently sit under this car. The fuel and brake systems have been gone through and the engine runs quite nicely. The car has not seen the road yet due to family stuff.

On a side note the original tools were under the front seat. What a thrill to find! If the stars align the car will be at Forest Grove Concours in July 2015.
