I had given up ever finding this collectible car I bought in 1972, but maybe ClubCobra members will find it for me. I bought a 1937 Packard Henney Hearse (5 on the floor-4 up front, one straight out in the back), out of Hemmings, to be a partner to the 1938 Packard Henney Hearse my grandmother gave me(don't ask how my grandmother came to own it!). I bought the car after driving all night in my Corvair to somewhere in the south-western hills of Virginia, saw the car, full of chickens at the time, and bought it for $150, which I figured was what the hood ornament was worth, a nice flying lady or whatever you call that Packard thing.
Unfortunately, I lost the directions and the guy's name a few months later and was never able to go get it. So, anyone seen it?
The chickens were kind of gray and white, with maybe a couple of brown ones, if that helps.
Thanks for any assistance you can provide to restore this collectible to its rightful (and forgetful) owner!
P.S. the farmer's name was Tom Ross, I NOW remember.
