This custom Packard speedster is a 6th series (1929) creation known as the Thompson Special, and also as the Glasscock Speedster, named for its owner Major Glasscock (presumably the driver). Thompson was a custom body maker in California. Woodlites add to the futuristic look.

So does anyone know who this Major Glasscock was. I know he was a CAR GUY. Plates on the car r ’29 Calif. so guessing its just out of the THOMPSON Body factory.
