dave, Thanks for sahring. It's always nice to see photos of cars that I could only dream about owning!

Thanks for posting these inspiring photos. I wish I had the room and funds to bring my 56 Exec to such a high level of restoration. Although it's still beautiful to me as is.

Dave,

Thanks very much for posting these!

I think the Waterhouse coachwork is fantastic.

Dave, I'm a bit of Waterhouse fan a well, and would have liked to see how they treated the interior but as you saw the car was up on a lift. If it's still there next time I'll have them get a ladder if necessary and get some shots inside.

There were a pair of Minervas there I should have photographed as well. Maybe next time.

Dave,

Sounds great!

Regards,

Dave

I really didn't realize how rare Watrehouse Packard's are.

I doubt very much that I've ever seen more than a half-dozen Waterhouses. Saw a duPont Waterhouse at Greenwich CT Concours a couple of years when they had a special focus on duPonts, and the picture below, photo by this author, taken at the PAC National in Asheville NC some years back.

I did inquire today about the interior of the Waterhouse 904. It's all leather, including the headliner. Perhaps some photos in the future.

Thank you Dave - wonderful photos!
