Product Description ■ Packard Series 6 Thompson Special (US 1929) ~ Lieutenant's Cigar ~
In the report at the time, the phrase "… a sensational custom speedstar …" was a description of a sporty and thrilling car made in 1929, and was created for the sole purpose of driving fast on public roads.
It was John Raglan Glasscock who made that dream come true.
When he bought the racing car, he was 44 years old from a very wealthy family.
He made his dream come true with a sports car based on the Packard 626.
But as a soldier, he had a further dream of having his own body rather than the 626 purchase being his dream goal.
It is believed that the Los Angeles Thompson Auto Body Company painted, modeled, and attached to the Packard chassis the body he wanted.
On the outside, the body is simply impressive by its simple appearance, with two slender frame posts attached to sheet metal cigar-shaped exteriors that are particularly eye-catching.
The fender fitted along the tire and the unconventional headlight design are proof of his attention to detail.
This unique speedstar still exists and is exhibited at the Driving Museum in El Segundo, California.
