Released from Paintshopjail
« on: January 15, 2021, 10:28:47 AM »
Finally the frontfenders and splashaprons for the Packard is released from Paint shopjail.
So i adjusted them with my father over  the last days. It is a big car look how
it dwarfs the Mercedes in the background and my father is about 6FT
A Finnish guy is making the upholstery but due to Corona he cant travel to Sweden

Lovely car!  I love Packards  :) 

Your picture is interesting because my father was involved with Studebaker-Packard and Mercedes in the 1950's.  Studebaker-Packard was the importer of Mercedes cars into the U.S.  My dad set up the central parts warehouse for Mercedes.  He was offered a 300SL at cost, but "didn't like it because it needed unleaded gas, and Hugh Hefner drove one".

He got a 190 sedan instead.  Thanks for being so practical, Dad!

Wow a 190 ;D Be glad he dont chosed a 180 Diesel ;)
A 300SL is one of my dreamcars and i have realiced it
will just be a dream seems like the price doubles once
a week
Everything on that Packard is built like it is to last forever
and most of them was scraped after 10 years. Chassie from
this is from a limousin that the American embassy had.
We found a Roadster body in Finland (6 sold in scandinavia
total,we got parts from atleast two of them) or what was left
of a body.  So i built a new body, all sheetmetal is new
except frontfenders and firewall.

Mother inlaw seat? So it came with a pull behind trailer?  ;D

Beautiful work, Heo. What year is it, 1932? Between us, I think we could start a museum.

Yes the pullbehind version. Here it is how i found it
M.I.L wanted to ride right away...well after me throwing
in some rotten vegetables ;D ;D


It is a 1929 6th series 133 inch wheelbase so 633 is the model. There where 126-133-140-145 inch
wheelbases the two longer had a bigger engine

Yes i think we could scrape together a pretty good museum

You'd better put lipstick and stockings on with that hat, or I'll be disappointed...
