Packard bike

[marius.suiram]

Any info about the bike are welcome: year, what's missing, what's not original.
It is repaint, I was looking for a serial number, on the bottom bracket is blue under read. Rear hub is Morrow, front not matching, of course wheels are paint white.
Thanks

The Packard badge was affixed to bikes by many manufacturers; most commonly Schwinn and Colson. But, I'm gonna climb out on a limb here to predict THIS one is by Cleveland Welding...about 1938. Any experts out there?

Check out this link at the Cabe. The subject bike is almost exactly like yours.

Actually I did. I found Packard bikes made by Colson and Schwinn, this one is looks CWC made. Actually I found one, but I cannot see the pictures, I didn't upgrade the photobucket.
Anyway, I am asking here or on the Cabe because you guys are dealing with this stuff for years and years, not like me in the last 6 or so.
Thanks for replays.

I think it's CWC too. I looked at some other Packards and found one or two that weren't Colson or Schwinn.

This is a 40 Packard on the CABE.

1939 Roadmaster shows the similarities.

Thanks Wildcat.
I am curious what's under the red paint...

Hey Marius, here’s my Packard badged CWC, looks very similar. Same front fender attachment and bent tank frame. I’d have to recheck the serial #, but I think mines a ‘39. How do you find all these cool bikes bro?

This one was on Craiglist for some days. The owner had a CWC frame/fork/crank single bar too, but was repaired at the top of the seat tube so I passed on that.
