1943? Packard.


I know its not a Poncho....but starts with a P!! Thought this was pretty cool..I think its a 42 or 43 Packard...all origional, waiting on restoration. In line flat head 8. Sitting at the Grand Hotel in Gerome, AZ. The owner was away, however the night clerk says it was custom built for Drew Barrymores Grandfather, who also was a famous actor of the time. In later years he became paralized, and had this car built. The wheelchair rolls back to the back seat, where a turntable allows access in and out thru the suicide doors..way cool!! What a great barn find for someone!!

That's a cool piece of history, and it looks very restorable.

It's a '41: http://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=4855&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&type=&mode=0&start=0

Headlites built into the fenders so 41 ( maybe 42 - but not a Clipper model ). 39 and 40 still had separate headlite pods.

I'd say it's a 39 or 40 Packard may be a 180
