Rolls Royce Phantom III, V-12?

No sir, not a Rolls.

hmmm, now that I look at it, that looks like Packard green - Roll's engines were all enameled shiny black.

You may be on to something...

Jagman · September 17, 2006, 01:06:19 PM

OK, so a Packard V-12 then?

Otto Puzzell · September 18, 2006, 02:51:54 AM

You are correct sir! This is the powerplant in a 1938 Packard 1608 (V-12) Brunn All-Weather Cabriolet, which will be at the Hershey auction in October. Quite a car.

Wow, 2 right in 100 tries! I'm rolling now!
