(note) the argentine high class boy captivated by the impeller power of the packards cars did not hesitate to this dismantle their luxurious bodyworks from several twin sixes to turn them into fearsome race cars...


Alejandro Schoega´s Car

His brief but speedy campaign was dedicated to speed trial competitions. still being completely standard, in 1920 he got hold of the professional clase of the campeonato sudamericano de la milla, on the cobbled road to La Plata.
He reappeared in the 1921 edition, taking the lead in the fifth (90.38 mph). He retired from the activity after timing (103.56 mph) during the campeonato del kilometro organized by the ACA. The car engine, chassis and bodywork had been extremely modified.

I have always wanted to find a pic or two of the Packards that Schoega drove. If this is one of his Packard's I would love to see a photo with the hood up. Good stuff no matter what-Jim

 

Anyone have an idea on the best way for my Argentine friend to find a good home and a fair price for the Fronty equipped Model T motor his recently deceased father was putting together. His interests are in more modern racing equipment and it seems silly to leave such a unique piece sit.
