VEHICLE HISTORY/ PROJECT STATUS: | pRight after the car's purchase, I found photos from Walter Miller's taken in 1951 in Vermont. Remarkably, the car has remained unchanged since then, still retaining its worn spare tire and mousy brown (re)paint(?) as in the '51 photos.Not so much the cliched Barn Find, more like an amazingTime War example, unknown till now to the '34 Roster Keeper. Its restoration to original condition (no upgrade to DeLuxe equipment) begins Summer of 21. This Coupe-Roadster is remembered by a gentleman who lived in Burlington, VT, (disregard the pic's "Super Eight" description) at the time of the '51 photos... a hrefhttp://forums.aaca.org/f134/34-packard-mystery-pic-279329.html/a pSo researching its history is going to be a wild ride, and great fun, too! | ||||
