Title: Solved: PN #189 -- Packard by Danziger Karosseriefabrik
Post by: pnegyesi on June 05, 2011, 11:53:57 AM
A rather difficult one, going straight to the pros! I am not sure about the donor, but for that elusive point, you need to identify the coachbuilder

Coachbuilt Packard made by Hungarians?

Running out of Polish coachbuilders (up to yesterday I didn't even know one  ;) ), one last try although they were probably out of business by the time the Packard was built: Romanowski

Well, I've got no choice left, but to open ot up to everyone again!

If I give you a hint, this one will be solved in minutes (when my fellow AutoPuzzlers wake up). So let me just say this. When I said Poland, I was only partly correct.
Title: Re: PN #189
Post by: Wendax on June 18, 2011, 03:29:38 PM
Was the town it was built in Polish, when the car was built, but isn't Polish nowadays?
Title: Re: PN #189
Post by: guido66 on June 18, 2011, 05:19:31 PM
Beckmann related?

The other way around - sort of. And it only applies to the coachbuilder

It is not Beckmann related
Title: Re: PN #189
Post by: Wendax on June 19, 2011, 01:14:09 PM
Was the coachbuilder in a town that was German (Danzig/Gdansk included) and today is Polish?
Title: Re: PN #189
Post by: pnegyesi on June 19, 2011, 01:56:41 PM
Yes, you even named the town. But I am mean and I won't lock it for you :)

Yes, it's a Packard bodied by the Danziger Karosseriefabrik!

Congratulations

For one point: Name the make and the shop that gave it this look.

Only a correct, complete and specific answer will earn a point; tag-on's to other guesses will not. So, be specific and complete!

European coachwork on American chassis?
Title: Re: Stately Fun #2617
Post by: oko94 on March 08, 2015, 08:40:24 AM
Packard from about 1927 ?
Title: Re: Stately Fun #2617
Post by: Wendax on March 08, 2015, 08:55:38 AM
1928 Opel 10/40 PS by Danziger Karosseriefabrik

Uh-oh. I have it as a another brand, but from this same coachbuilder.
Title: Re: Stately Fun #2617
Post by: Wendax on March 08, 2015, 09:17:04 AM
You are right, I shouldn't have trusted my source blindly. It is obviously a Packard.
Title: Re: Stately Fun #2617
Post by: oko94 on March 08, 2015, 09:21:38 AM
So should Wendax and I get half a point each ?
Title: Re: Stately Fun #2617
Post by: Wendax on March 08, 2015, 09:22:55 AM
Most probably a Packard Eight, Model 336.

The point splitter has been on the fritz for a while.  ;)

I don't know the model for sure, so a point for both of you.

Thanks for the point (my 1500th  :touched:).
I have to object to the Poland part of the title. Danzig has a long and complex history with affiliations to many states, German and Polish, as well as being a free city. When this car was bodied, it formed the semi-autonomous city-state Freie Stadt Danzig under League of Nations protection.

Deeply impressive points tally!
At my rate I should get my 1500th point when I'm about 110...
