he is asking twice what you would dare to ask for this car in California..

am i wrong? what's up ?/

you guys know everything

Whatever you can talk somebody into paying, that's what it's worth. To them anyway. The market will decide. If it really is all original, then that car is pretty much a time capsule.

Hi

Four east coast choices for your consideration:

A '41 Custom Super 180 1907 touring sedan project, finish it up, have one great Packard:

A '46 Custom Super Clipper, discussed here before, excellent car, surprising its still available:

PS: Rusty, typically '51 Mayfair hardtops don't sell for that much but if its truly a 20K mile original and checks out in all respects, it comes as close to their asking price as any would. Looks to be a real gem to me. Not to knock 200 sedans but their very ubiquity works against their commanding higher prices. The flip side is they can be a real bargain for a very good car.

The Mayfair is very interesting as it is advertised as being original and stored since 63.

Note the upholstery as the striped plastic cloth inserts were supposed to be on the convertible (as per the facts book) and the dash instruments are wrong for a 250 Packard. One could argue that perhaps it was an early example of that model but then where did the grill teeth come from then? Back to the upholstery, there are no seams coming apart or 60+ year old leather becoming ashy and crumbly nor the drivers seat a little depressed? hmmm. Nice clear glass with no faded rough spots on the dash?

Hi

If you can wait until May 17th, the '48 Custom Eight in this current CL posting:

Better check it out, it might be a decent car and sell for a cheap price.

The 35 120 Sedan is a very nice looking car. I wonder if the interior and engine compartment are as nice? Noticed that the license plate bracket is on the RH tail light. Should it not be on the LH side? Paint the wheels body or another dark color and you are set.

Regarding the '35 120, seems there might also be a little mild "customising" going on with the bumpers both front and back. Sorry if I've made a mistake, but I'm sure you guys will set me straight!
