I've heard of, or seen a Packard pickup.Ā  I've owned several, but none of the the thirties vintage.

Most likely a custom job...reminds me of the car they bought in "The Grapes of Wrath"... they converted it into a truck for the journey west.

Nice shot! This truck is really beatiful, it's a shame it has been abandoned.

Thanks SD40-2
!!! Abandoned or not, I still love rusty battered things... shiny new stuff can get so boring!

Interesting! Looks like a Packard sedan that someone has converted to a truck.

I think they did that a lot in the 1930s, ala "The Grapes of Wrath".Ā

Unlikely for this car, it's a mid-late '30s Packard, meaning it would have been new when the nation was still struggling. Also, this was an expensive car to be doing that with. And it looks like whoever tried to convert it did not do it out of necessity.

Very cool. Was that coachbuilt, or a custom one-off thing?

HuskyMotorsports In reply to prestonthecarartist [2014-11-16 02:48:42 +0000 UTC]

It was home-made by a man in a shed. It sold for $64,000.
