VEHICLE HISTORY/
PROJECT STATUS:
I inherited this car from my uncle upon his passing, he bought the car at auction. My grandfather, his dad had up to twelve cars in his collection, including two Packard convertibles that he restored, I used to work with him on these cars when I was a kid, and they appeared in many parades in the Dallas area. This car was found in a barnyard outside of Greenwood, S.C. and built in various shops in Indianapolis, In., during the late '90s. I drive it often and enter it in smaller shows. I'm considering an update to get the '90s out of it and updating the interior and exterior color, using original'39 Packard colors.
