The Allure of the Automobile Exhibit at the High Part 3, the Packard LeBaron Speedster

The next installment to the Auto Exhibit at the High...

1934 Packard LeBaron Runabout Speedster

One of 4 build Roundabouts built (of 960 total built V12s mostly coups) - I love the "suicide" doors and pontoon fenders. This car was indeed a thing of rare beauty. Can you imagine tooling around with the top down and visiting all the clubs? I took a lot of photos so bear with me...(some are a little blurred - lots of elbows to joggle the camera).
