I think the exclusive supply agreement with Henney didn't come along until 1938 or so.


As I understand it, the exclusive agreement began in 1937.

That could be right Don, I suppose the answer will be found in the AQ book or one of McPherson's publications. But I thought 1938 because of that exceptionally lovely art-carved A. J. Miller hearse on the 1938 120 chassis that used to make the show circuits regularly. Do you wish a photo of it?

Thank you for the offer and I would love a photo of it, I've seen pictures but only the low resolution half-toned versions as published in books. Unless you want to post it, please PM me for my direct email or contact me through my site below.

Old Kodachrome, taken at the 1993 Packard National in Asheville, NC. Those A. J. Miller art-carved were stunning!

As Packard had supplied some 1938 chassis to Miller, that's why I thought their exclusive with Henney couldn't have been consummated in 1937.

Hi

A few Free-Flow Styled choices:

A '48 Eight "My Father and I have been the keepers of this Packard since new. It is with great sadness that I am selling it, but its time for the Packard to have a new keeper." Ready to enjoy.

A '49 Super Eight 22nd Series, 82K miles, stick shift:
https://nh.craigslist.org/cto/d/1949-packard-super8/6557032792.html

A '50 Eight, stick shift, good interior:

And a '48 Super Eight convertible, ready for open-air enjoyment:
https://harrisburg.craigslist.org/atq/d/1948-packard-super-8-victoria/6549995481.html

That tri-tone 633 proves just because you can paint a car to match a period advertisement doesn't mean you should.

That New Hampshire car looks like a 23rd series Eight with 22nd series Super Eight trim. Different.

In last nights' movie on TCM, the couple stole a Victoria convertible just like this. The girl made a uturn so there was a good shot of the Packard. Boyfriend jumps in, you could see him shift to 2nd then 3rd as they speed off. I look for Packards in old movies.

Hi Guscha

Those are rear seat wind deflectors, useful when summer cooling was four windows down, forty mph. An accessory available from a variety of aftermarket outfits like Western Auto and J.C. Whitney in the era, they turn up in sedan periodically. I doubt this pair are a Packard-specific item. Checking Mr Neal's text, only a convertible tonneau wind deflector is listed.
