Hi, please help me identify the manufacturer of the custom body of this Packard (the body is covered with canvas)

I bought it in Germany, where it supposedly spent most of its life. Does anyone know who the manufacturer of this body is? The only identifying mark is the logo on the door (see photo)

What do you think about this car? were there more made? I couldn't find anything similar on the internet

Couldn't it be a body from the Rollston Company? Something like the City Town Car style?

next info about this car on my register page (vehicle registry)

I would also like to know something about the history of this car, but I don't know where to find it.

Thank you, best regards Libor

VERY nice car. Unfortunately I don't know the answer. The FGK is almost certainly a monogram. The wordy plate lists the car specifications, selling dealer ("depot"), and salesman ("representative").

I also believe that it is the owner's monogram, but is the interpretation "FGK" correct or is the last letter perhaps a defective "R"?

Quote:



It won't be defective, because this sign is on both sides of the car and looks exactly the same. Whether it's an R or a K is the question

HANKO stands for Hannover + Koblenz and still exists. Today it is a BMW dealership. A brief historical overview of the company can be found here. The text is in German.

Libor, for comparison: this link leads to a 1928 Packard Convertible Town Car, coachwork by Rollston.

Are you from Germany? Give me your email address - I'll send you some information from the technical certificate. Maybe you'll know more with this information

G'day LIBOR KRIVANEK,
First posts so, to PackardInfo.

And for including your '28 Six Sedan Limousine in PackardInfo's Packard Vehicle Registry.

Note - I have deleted the duplicate Registry entry in order to maintain the Registry's integrity.

Libor, anything but sure if I can help you but will do my very best. Check your inbox , please, to find my e-mail address.

Be so kind to check for a so-called body number. A brass body tag is often located on the body floor in the interior of the vehicle. Please lift the carpets behind the front seats to check.
