Great Idea, the Category has now been added. Go forth and populate!

This photo is also under 1934, but seems appropriate to add here. It's an 1101. What I wouldn't give for those headlight lenses!

Dave,

Being a '41 Coupe owner I'm both saddened and love this pic of yours in the '41 section.

Yeah, that is SAD, and a nice photo, I forget where that came from. Seems I have 100s of these, all slides unfortunately; I'll have to buy one of those little scanner/converters. Here's another, from a 1979 Ektachrome, of my early (painted headlight doors) 22nd series Custom 8 out shopping for parts from it's 23rd series sibling. The 23rd series car was complete and running, back then it was for parts, or $25. I took door and trunk latches, side window glass, etc., all for something like $5. Looks like I could have used a fender skirt too. The Custom 8 is still around, boasting a terrific repaint, and it's pictured on this site, GTO is the current owner. Location was just off Rte 46 in Palisades Park, New Jersey. PS - I just noticed, whitewall in the back, blackwall in the front. Whitewall was probably bought as a used tire, I was poorer than the proverbial churchmouse back then.

PS - GUSHA said in regard to the 1934 1101,In addition to it the chrome rings repeat the contour of the radiator grill allusively. Yes, and the same yoke motif is also repeated on the parking light and tail light bezels, the bumper guards, the radio knockout panel, the trunk rack, and several other little places.

Another 1947 Packard, a Custom, that has donated many parts to my Super Clipper.

Gerd, That's not laurel it's POISON IVY! and Mr Clean might disturb the hornets living in the wheelwell. Needless to say I usually remove parts from the car in January. Sad to relate but the poplar tree in the background fell across the car last year crushing the trunk and the rear part of the roof.

Good point Dave. These were the first two tools I used when I recovered my car from the field it was sitting in:

Kev, Yes, mouse traps, Raid and my Winchester '97 12 gauge shotgun just in case a bruin has taken up residence in the back seat.

"The design patent for The Packard Goddess of Speed automobile hood ornament. The ornament was designed and filed by John D. Wilson of Grosse Point, Michigan, in 1938 and assigned to the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit. The patent was issued in 1939."

I would like to move it to the photo archive. Which year would be correct?
