Marco, infirmier de son état, est amoureux d' Alicia, une jeune danseuse dans le coma depuis plusieurs mois qui lui avait avouée avant son accident être passionée par les films muets...depuis, il passe ses loisirs à regarder des centaines de films muets...d'ou la présence de cette photo Je n' ai pas vérifié si il s' agissait bien d' une Hispano...à suivre |

Nothing to do with an Hispano Suiza . No , the Atalante mascot of Studebaker, plain disc wheels ,rather high windshield and belt line , together with the nickel-plated type headlines and bumpers identifies it as a Studebaker Big Six seven passenger Limousine of 1926 vintage .The car has an accessory toolbox on the left running board and the fender mounted spares with metallic wheel covers .Rear quarter windows on this example are occluded by internal curtains . |

"Studebaker Big Six Limousine" ne serait pas suffisant?...ça fait un peu long, non? |

Look again Pilou, I believe this is a Packard 1926 or 1927. The Studebaker is similar in many ways, but radiator and bumpers are different. http://www.adclassix.com/ads/26packard.htm http://www.trombinoscar.com/studebaker/sb2601.html |

To add to the confusion, I'll hazard a guesss. I'll say Lincoln (if only because of the shape of the radiator mascot, that is like the Lincoln "Greyhound". |

It sure looks like it, but I think it´s "The goddess of speed" used by Packard during these years: http://ken-thornton.com/m_packard.html |

I have scanned and enlarged the picture to recheck. Daf 555 is right. On the enlargment the typical Packard radiator and the" Goddess of Speed" mascot , here still with the outside motor temperature meter are better visible and distinct from Studebaker's radiator and Atalanta mascot .The fourth and the fifth series Packard's launched in july 1927 were the last to use this outside meter .On the other hand , the car has the eight lug wheels ( the third and fourth series had six lug wheels).The Packard logo may be present in the middle of the spare wheel but the image is too fuzzi to tell.It may thus be a fourth series eight 443 or fifth series six Packard of 1927. Unfortunately the side of the hood is not clearly visible since it is hidden by the spare wheel .The fourth series eight had opening shutters , the fifth series six normal non-opening louvres.The fourth series had a three lensed taillight but again , this is not visible here .I would be glad to submit this to a Packard specialist, also to check the origin of the coachwork ( factory , Holbrook,Dietrich...) |

So, can we consider it is a Packard? or should we wait? |

I list it as 1927 Packard until we know what model it is. |

As a prewar Packard afficiando, this is DEFINITELY a 1927 Packard 4th series long wheelbase limo, most likely a Brunn custom body by the looks of it. The radiator mascot is the new "Goddess of Speed" mascot which was a lady outstreched holding a spoked wheel tire out in front of her. This one has the eight lug wheels instead of the six lug wheels because this is a very scarce straight eight Packard. Most Packards in 1927 came with six cylinder engines and six lug wheels. The eight was a new (and expensive) option, and it also got you eight-lug wheels to deal with all that horsepower and torque. All 8 cylinder Packards retained use of the 8 lug wheels through 1932. -- Last edit: 2024-05-09 20:44:35 |
