Kelch heater, or similar to one?
Looks like there is a electrically driven blower motor on the can surrounding the exhaust manifold. tomlaferriere.com/listings/1934-packard-1105-5-7-passenger-sedan/

That car has well over 29,000 miles on it. It wasn't uncommon for those cars to run over 8,000 miles per month when they were new. Just look at the engine. That car has a zillion miles on it.

Yes, thats a correct Kelch installation, my '34 1100 also has a Kelch and I've got many photographs of Kelch installations in Packards, Pierces, Cadillacs, etc; in a period of low-boiling alcohol antifreezes they were the premium heater, see my article on Kelch heaters in a back issue of The Packard Cormorant. The last Kelch installation I'm aware of is in a 1939 Packard Twelve. The heat exchanger tube assembly in Kelches was constructed of stainless steel or monel to eliminate exhaust gas leakage.
