the very first car pictured is simply terrible! is it a boat tail/Tucker combo?:shock:
The Black packard conversion looks as if it was well thought out and executed. Are those Woodlights on it?
The yellow-tan machine has poor color choice, and does not accentuate ANY of the car.

The speedster pictured below was built by Dick Saunders in up state NY in the 1940s. He took a Auburn Speedster body which he had mounted on a Marmon V16 chassis and placed it on a Packard 8 chassis which I believe previously had a conv coupe body on it. He then added a V12 engine from a sedan. There were other modifications including twin superchargers that was performed later.

Thanks again Randy.
Do you know anything about this early Auburn Speedster mated with a Packard?
This picture was published in a 1950's Trend Book "Classic Cars and Specials" by Robert Gottlieb.

I'm not too sure where I found these pictures, I think they are form ebay.
They all seem to be of the same car with different nose treatment.
In the first three photos the car has painted windscreen, white steering wheel, two exhausts coming out of each side of the hood,
two tail pipes and early 40's Chevrolet headlights.
Now different bumper, hood without exhaust pipes, front fenders incorporating headlights, Cadillac hub caps, two tone paint,
black steering wheel, chromed windscreen and spats on rear fenders.
How did air get to the engine???
