This is one of the very
few touring car
trunks we've found in years and it's an authentic Packard trunk, made
specifically
for Packard automobiles by the McKane-Lins Company of Milwaukee, WI. This
beautiful trunk was meant for the back of a large Packard touring car. To
find an automobile trunk in decent condition is rare these days but to find
one with the Packard name is very rare. Trunks, like nearly everything else,
had to adapt to the coming of the automobile and here's one of the best
examples. Eventually car
manufacturers made the trunk an integral part of the car and these wonderful
bits of history started to disappear so today they're more difficult to find
than the automobiles. Note the chrome-plated brass maker's label. The corner
hardware is solid brass beneath the chrome plating. This trunk is all original; we've only
cleaned and preserved it. The inside of the trunk is lined with the
original linen material that is in excellent condition. We found this
one near Savannah, GA. It dates back to the 1920s.
By the way, you don't
necessarily need a '20s car to enjoy a trunk like this; one car trunk
we sold ended up on the back of a PT Cruiser and the owner was ecstatic. If
you like it as well as we do then call us now, toll-free on 1-877-653-8786
