I purchased this car in 1998 at the Hershey Swap Meet in Pennsylvania. It was in very poor condition and required a complete ground up restoration. Little is known of its
history except that in the early 1950’s it was owned by agrader operator for the roads department in California. He had welded an “A” frame to the front of the car for towing
behind the grader.

At some time he heard that older Packards were being purchased by the Packard company for good prices as trade-ins. He went to a local dealer to be offered $50.00 for the car which was refused. Robert Wenham, the next owner (to be) heard of the car and went
in search of it. He got along well with the owner and subsequently took the car home for $50.00.
Robert drove the car for a few years before deciding to restore it, and the car was completely dismantled. He then thought his shed was too small and pulled it down with the
intention of rebuilding, which never took place and the Packard was left to sit dismantled and rusting in a paddock. The car was then bought, reassembled and sold on at Hershey by a dealer where I purchased it. I restored it over a 3 years period commencing in 2001 and I have completed many enjoyable runs since getting it back on the road. The car was originally sold by Earle C. Anthony dealership in Los Angeles.
