1937 Packard Imperial

Scott McCaskey’s 1937 Colson Imperial is an outstanding, well preserved example of a very rare bike. This Packard badged Colson still wears it’s original paint and plating. It is equipped with a Lobdell horizontal-spring saddle, Stewart-Warner Clipper speedometer, aluminum Delta horn-light, and an aluminum Delta tail-light. Notice the unique Colson goose-neck, and “waterfall” badge that is attached to the fork rather than the frame like usual. During dis-assembly for cleaning and lubrication, Ted found the original factory build sheet inside the head tube! We’ll post a scan of this as soon as it is available.
