A friend of mine, who owns a small garage, had a 51 (2?) 4 door show up a while ago. I happened to be driving by while it was still on the trailer being estimated. The ca. registration claims it is a 52 but it has the wings up Cormorant. After 62 years, who knows? I was somewhat surprised to see vary Packard looking 16 inch wheels warring F 70 16 wide whitewall tires. My 52 bodied, 53 Henny Jr, #8, has the standard 15” wheels that look very much like the 16’s on this one. I posted this on the Packard forum along with the ID numbers and received a reply from Don 37 in Guntersville, AL He owned Henny Jr #13 and one up in the 250’s both with 16’s. I’m wondering if I should offer a trade, my 15’s for his 16’s? Does anyone know which of the commercial chasses used 16’s and were they standard or optional? There was a set of Packard hubcaps on the wheels the first time I saw it. They clip on from the center so I don’t know that size makes a difference.
Thanks, Tom
