I posted this under Pre war, but thought it should be here.

There is an interesting story accompanying this candid photo of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Moyle Sr. Moyle was the Principal behind the Marquette Cement Company in Oglesby, Il. We had dinner with his Great Grandson in Whitefish, Montana this week and he remembered hearing about the car.

In June of 1949 the Moyles boarded the Queen Mary on a trip to Mr. Moyle's childhood home in Cornwall England to celebrate their 55th wedding anniversary and brought this car along with Nephew Albert Moyle to be their chauffeur.

They listed it as a limousine, but I can't see the divider. It is definitely earlier than '38 due to the single windshield. The plate is from '37 and it looks to be a 5 or 7(most likely?) Touring Sedan, either a Super 8 or Twelve.

Can any keener, more knowledgeable eyes comment?

Any ownership records exist?

Its definitely a 1937 V12! The picture looks familiar I think it has been discussed here before on the forum.

On page 245.

This The Old Motor feature includes a '53 Clipper getting spiffed-up, had 'bottle-openers' added.

Missed posting a few Packard photos from the AACA Forums but these on page 248 showing the "The famous Packard straight 12 prototype" can't be ignored!

1953 or 1954?

Looks like a 1958 Ford in the photo, so c. 1958.

The convertible to the right is a 1958 Ford while the one to the left is '55-'56 but I don't know those two years well enough to be more exact.

The Packard under the sign at McDonalds is a 1953 or 1954?
