 The history of this 1934 Packard Standard B Roadster, according to one of its previous owners, is quite interesting. It seems that this car was a 'peace offering' to a wife from her husband, who had been unfaithful. She accepted the car in place of a divorce! The car was customized so that it would be more beautiful than just a Standard Roadster. This included an 'orangish red' paint job, along with chrome wire wheels as well as other chromed parts to make her car a little more 'special.' According to the wife, the car had a certain magical quality, and she and her husband lived happily together until his death. The couple's son dismantled the car many years later, but never completed the restoration. The car was purchased in 1991 by Vincent Finazzo, who meticulously restored it to its original specifications before recently selling it to its current owners. |
