Today I got ambitious and drove my 3 cars into the RV parking lot so I could photograph them together. They show advances from 1916 to 1936 to 2007. The Packard is quite a bit larger than the Model T or the Mercedes Benz SL 550. They are all quite different to drive.

 

That is one hell of a trio, thanx for sharing the pictures

 

You have a great start to a Pebble Beach style car show.

 

Great collection of cars, congratulations. Do you have any pictures of the packard interior.

 

I bought the Packard in 2001. Since then I have stripped it to the metal, did body work, painted it, made a new leather interior, made a new top for it, and put new rubber on the running boards. I did the work myself. For about 30 years I did upholstery on collector cars.
I will show pictures of it as I bought it, doing the work and the finished product.

As Bought 2001.

The paint removed.

In primer.

Turning Trianon Green Metallic, a 1936 Packard color.

Impressive Packard front end.

Finished product.

Front seat area with new black leather.

Rear seat area. Lots of legroom.

 

The R230 looks like a space ship next to those classics.

Imagine how someone from 1916 or 1936 would react to seeing one / going for a ride in it.

 

"... They are all quite different to drive."

Wow, I'll bet that is the understatement of the year!. Great collection of beautiful cars!!!
