I would love to own that 36 Packard coupe. Not seeing it in person, I would say $4000 is a right price.
What is the difference between "base" 8 and "Super" 8. Wheelbase? Engine size? I hate that there are only 2 bad photos. The clock - I noticed source was LeClaire, Iowa (sp) which is home to 'American Pickers' TV show. The 53 Limousine has been on here before. What a shame. I am too old and not a good enough welder to take on such a project.

Expect there were many other differences too, especially in trim and interiors. (o{}o)

The main difference was the 320 vs 385 ci engine, and a 134 vs 139 inch wheelbase. Dash and interior were the same. IIRC the bumpers were different as well.

Wow. I don't think it matters a whole lot, both engine sizes were rather large displacement (Buick had a new for 1936 320 cubic inch motor in their top of the line Roadmaster.
And both wheelbases are longer then I expected. I was thinking 130 inches. I think I'll call the guy.

2650 or 2651? I cannot tell from the picture and when I see such things, I wish that I had purchased that Packard limo I saw in Congress AZ years ago. Any outward tell tale signs that determines which 53 model this really is?

Received an email reply from the seller with the 36 Packard coupe (2 door). He says that the question about the engine size is a "ew" one for him.
He can't send photos to me by email but can text them to me. I don't text. Does the need to text and non understanding of engine size or series mean we are dealing with an estate matter maybe? I do have his phone number now.
