I recently stumbled across a 37 Packard Pickup at a local outdoor car show here in Victoria. Does anyone know if Packard actually produced a pickup in 37 or is this a 'new model'? I couldn't find anything on the Packard Club website about a 37 pickup.
I overheard the owner (from Whistler, BC) telling a group of onlookers about the 54" wide box being from a Ford and that he had fabricated the tailgate even to the extent of stamping the PACKARD letters into the flat panel. I assumed he was talking about how he had restored the truck but afterward I wondered If perhaps he had created a Packard version of the Coupe Express.
I found another photo on the net of what appears to be the same vehicle.
Even if it is a 'new model' for Packard it's very classy although not as voluptous as the 37 Studebaker Coupe Express, right, Jeff Rice?
Cheers!
