Karamesines first TE-440 chassied car, originally built in 1958 with Chris’s brother in law George Schreiber it first ran the carbureted Olds from the Greek’s ‘36 Phaeton. The hemi went in in early ‘59 first with the eight carb log manifold and later that year Chris realized he needed to step up to a blower. I left the C/MP ‘63 Biscayne in because it oddly is lettered ChiZler like Karamesines named some of his early cars.
From the AACA Forum The 1930 Packard accessory brochure shows several different types of accessory lights, including the optional "Bright Bumper" (a 3-inch tubular bumper with lights on the ends) At least one! Most unusual are the accessory tubular bumpers with built-in lamps at the ends. Sometimes referred to as “Woodlite Bumpers,” or “Ray-Bar Bumpers,” they are referred to in the November1929 Packard Approved Accessories catalogue as the “Packard Bright Bumper.” The descriptive text in the catalogue reads, “This bumper incorporates a 32-candle light at each end of the 3-inch tubular bar. The lights are very effective but non-blinding, giving excellent illumination directly on the road. Lights well recessed and protected in bumper." 1930 Packard 745 Deluxe Eight Convertible Victoria by Waterhouse Co.
