Schwann Packard What Did I Buy

[GTs58]

Sand away and get the SN. The bike is black and the bottom of the BB shell is never seen with the bike upright. Do a nice job removing the paint and then do some touch up paint after the stampings are cleaned out.

It's actually dark blue

I bought this from a friend in a local Packard club . He said it was a 1939 but wasn't sure. It was restored about 12 years ago.There were no numbers visible on the bottom because of the paint.What do I have? What tank would be correct ? Thanks

First: WELCOME to theCABE! 2nd: I too LOVE Packard autos, and you have a beautiful coupe! 3rd: There is much GOOD Wisdom and Knowledge here on this sight; and, we tease a lot.... but that only means you've made a good entrance, so don't even act like you noticed.

You haven't been here long enough to know this; but, already above, some owners of very handsome/beautiful and desirable bikes have already responded to your post... and gifted you with their freely given wisdom/knowledge. Stick around, settle in and search, search, search and ask!

Please, become a part of a great site; pappy

If it’s a 39 frame this one would work. These tanks are pretty pricey these days. I’d try to get the serial number before you go buy a 2000$ tank though.

Just wondering if it's some kinda insider code. I see "Schwann" used quite frequently...

It's a cousin to the often used " Scwin "
