Letters Important to

this Sport Phaeton

This past year (2009) while at the Warren, Ohio Packard

event, we met Bob Supina and his wife, Gail. They had a

beautiful, 1937 Packard Town Car with a Rollston body

that was parked near our Sport Phaeton. We spent

some very enjoyable time with them.

Bob has been collecting information about very specific Packard

numbers for the "1937 Packard Twelve Directory". He has

been compiling this data since 1967. Bob sent out entry forms

for this data to be entered and returned for archiving.

One of the forms was sent to Al Dumrose, regarding his 1937

Convertible Sedan. The form was filled out and

returned to Bob. The second page is of particular interest

as it refers to the Sport Phaeton that we are featuring in these

presentations and photographs.

Michele and I never knew about this form. After a day or

two of chatting with the Supina's, Bob handed

Michele the form and note from Al. Forty two

years later and the writing in her father's

own hand... Needless to say, we knew what

"very obscure and very rare, perhaps one of a kind"

car he was writing about.

Al had chased that car for over twenty years before Mr. Wiley

would part with it. One of Mr. Dumrose's favorite sayings was

" All good things come to those who are patient".

The second paragraph of the second page mentions a very

special car that Al Dumrose is close to securing in several

years. The next two pages are the original form and note

from 1967.

Note the Post Script.
