On Training Wheels
I saw this at a yard sale and the bike sort of spoke to me to save it. Its a Packard with the s/n 3K7442 under the bottom bracket. If you can help me identify it, that would be cool. I just plan to clean and repack the gears. Maybe the paint will buff out. Thx SC

OK everything that I'm throwing out here is open for debate. I don't think the wheels are correct, nor the crankset. I can't quite tell, but I think the rear dropouts are facing down rather to the rear, which makes me believe that it's a post war bike. And I didn't think postwar Colsons used a Packard badge. Hopefully I will be corrected if I'm wrong about any of this.
 
Could you also post a photo of the rear dropout (where the rear axle fits into the frame)?
 
Thanks. I checked with a friend. The Packard badge is probably correct for a post war frame, which I'm pretty sure that yours is, as indicated by the forward facing dropouts. I don't know the exact year from the serial number though.

Thanks for posting the link. I think that this style rack could possibly be correct for your bike.
