Packard Badged

I found this Packard badged frame. The bars have slots where there was a crossbar at one time. The dropouts where the rear tire goes has dog legs for a drop stand. It appears to have been repainted at some time. Maybe olive drab with a little blue showing here and there. The forks have a hole instead of a slot. so it has to be fairly old. I've searched Packard bike images but I haven't been able to find one similar. I think this IS the front fender, but no rear fender. Is this a Packard? There's a tab sticking out of the front fork where maybe a light or fender connection may have been. Wish I had more info. Who manufactured Packard frames?

Single bar Colson. PM of interest sent.

So is it badged incorrectly?

Nope. Looks to be about a 36-37 Colson. I don't believe that fender came off that bike, unless the braces have been replaced.

Should they be peaked fenders? There was a peaked one there where I found it too. Thanks for helping me out.

Have a pic of the serial number under the bottom bracket(crank)?

I've seen Packard badges on Schwinn, CWC,and maybe Shelby bicycles as well. V/r Shawn

This bike showed up on my porch today and so I took some pics of my next project.

Serial number 7807H

Looks like an old repair of the chain stays to the bottom bracket.
Is this a long wheelbase frame bike?

Yes and yes
