Good Morning all...The Air Conditioning in the 37-120 appears to be Vintage Air or similar. Since the car is now 12 Volt, the Packard engine can turn the compressor easily. They sell Air Conditioning for Model A Fords and the little four bangers can handle the modern compressor so I doubt if a Packard Engine would even notice the extra strain...Ernie

If the quality of this homemade stretch limo is comparable to the quality of the pictures; I'll pass.

1936 120 touring sedan. Straight 8 with 700R automatic transmission(?). I'm wondering how they made that fit. It's also talking about hydraulics. I hope that's a typo...
Oh and the asking price is very optimistic

Well u found some more pictures in another ad, and it has hydraulics...

Does it take hydraulics to have your wife/girl friend sit on the fender like that? Or did she take most of her cloths off because the AC didn't work?



I rather buy this 37 senior touring sedan and keep $40k in my pocket.

It makes one sick to see a Packard chopped up and hydraulics installed. About three years ago the wife & I went to a car show in Santa Maria (Calif.). There was a 1935 Super Eight Convertible that the owner was "Fixing Up". He had installed a Chevy crate engine and automatic tranny. The frame had already been cut up to install hydraulics for lowering and bouncing. He informed me that his next step was the interior. I asked him what he did with the original engine and tranny. His reply was "I got rid of that old shit".

I informed him that he would be lucky to get $60K or $70K for the car after he was done. He smiled and said maybe $80K. As we turned to leave I informed him with that with that old shit engine and tranny that properly restored he would have had a $250K car. Thus adding credence to the saying "There is no explaining stupid".

I agree with you completely when idiots with too much disposable income decide to turn a rare, valuable car like that '35 (or the awful '36 120) into a custom, hot rod, or worse yet, low-rider. Even more bizarre is when someone takes the body off an antique car and installs it atop a monster truck!

That said, I don't get too worked up when someone takes a Packard that would otherwise be scrapped and customizes it. While it is individual taste, I see that as giving new life to an otherwise doomed car. I have actually seen a few Packard custom jobs that were masterfully done and are beautiful and practical drivers. I would never do this to my Clipper, but to each his own.

(I've got a bad feeling that I am about to be hammered!)

You can make a lot of really neat things from the parts left over after you rebuild your engine ...

Hammered? No way, same thing I say. I have cars come to the shop wanting hacked, and I turn them away. I Will NOT Hack a Pack. However, while not my choice either, I will as you stated "Modify" a car that is not realistically restorable to keep it from the heap. No Hammers here, much respect......
