1932 Packard 902 Sport Phaeton
This car is one of the best preserved Packards I have seen. After we restored it, it won everything. From Pebble Beach to Warshawsky awards, it won every where it went. It's for sale, call me for details.
1932 Packard Individual Custom Dietrich Conv. Victoria
This was a beautiful car. The Individual Custom Dietrich Packard's were some of the most beautifully designed cars of the era. We did a complete restoration on this car, and it scored 100 points everywhere it went.
1933 Packard 1005 Conv. Coupe
I wish I had taken more photos of this car. What was I thinking?
1935 Packard Super 8 Coupe
This car was pulled out of a river in Ohio. We re-wooded the car and made all the sheet metal in the bottom 10 inches of the body. Had to have a parts car to get all we needed to complete this one.
1935 Packard V12 Conv. Coupe
We helped the owner in the restoration of this car. He had a severely limited budget, but we can work with anybody.
1937 Packard 1506 V12 Sedan
I restored this car then went on the Toronto CCCA Caravan. I passed a guy on the tour and he complained to me that evening that I passed him going 85 miles per hour. I said, "That seems strange, I thought I was going 90."
1937 Packard Model 1507 Conv. Coupe
We have restored several of these 1507s. The gray leather looked really good with the maroon exterior.
1937 Packard Model 1507 Conv. Coupe Green
Some of you may have seen this car on a Caravan or two. I think it has completed over a half a dozen of them. It was a real good original car, and it performs flawlessly.
1937 Packard V12 Coupe
This car came to us from one of our oldest customers. He wanted to restore the car and go to Pebble Beach. No problem. We have enjoyed great success there. The challenge laid in the fact that we had only 9 months to do the restoration and this was very rough car. The previous restoration in the 70's was a typical situation where they threw Bondo, newspaper at it, and pop riveted in old road sign. Then they covered it all up with a poor paint job. We made all new wood, fabricated all the sheet metal in the lower 10 inches of the body, made new running boards, fabricated most of the rear fenders, and we made new wheel wells and tail sections in the front fenders. We were fortunate that we had a better hood, grill shell, floorboards, and too many other parts to list to make things go faster. This car was a challenge because of the time constraints. Finished in Rich Loam and gold pinstripe as original, it looks stunning. The engine is perfectly quiet, and the drive train is marvelous. The car is finished and placed second in it's class at Pebble Beach. The 50 mile tour went perfect. The customer was very happy.
1937 Packard 1507 V12 Coupe Blue
Sometime I'll post the story of two identical 1507 Packard coupes. This was the one that was very well cared for it whole life. It had 97,000 miles on it, but I truly believe this is one of those cars that grandma drove to church only on sunny Sundays.
