I'm sorry, no Packard pickup for me. Yes, the 120 was the "junior" Packard, but still. Few people today know how high a standard was set by Packard. IMO, the peak of US car production, maybe Marmon was at the same level, and the 16 cyl Caddies and Lincolns, but that is about it.

What about Pierce Arrow? Peerless? Like i said the there are many fine automobiles in that early period.

Packard shooting brake?

Front wheel drive anyone? anyone?

^^^^^ Of all the bodies to adorn the L29 chassis, the Hayes Coupe is probably the most striking. It benefited from the L29's unique chassis and $20,000 budget, making it one of the most expensive cars, rivaling the '20 Grand' Duesenberg and Fatty Arbuckle's Pierce.
The car was made to promote the Hayes Body Corporation which operated out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Stylist Alexis de Sakhnoffsky worked with the car's unique chassis to execute his design. With it's front-wheel drive chassis, the L29 could be made lower than other cars. Infact, it was America's first FWD car, beating Ruxton by just a few months.
Sakhnoffsky took advantage of the L-29's low chassis height by dropping the beltline at the door and keeping it below the hood. This gave the car a strong sense of robustness, especially with its long hood that was further accentuated by prominent front fenders and oversize hubcaps.

Here are some photos of a few International pickups we had. The 35 was an early production date if you look at the stick shift you will notice enters the floor up close to the firewall on the bellhousing hump. Later production was mounted on the flat part of the floor (trans changes). The 35 had wood framing in the cab , this one was from Kansas , solid body but the wood was turning to powder.

The 47 was a KB1 with a "Knox box". came from down south and had about 20K original miles on it. My bother Did a repaint , wiring and some other things .
