Friends

There used to be an extremely original '41 120 convertible in the Eastern Packard. The late owner, John Orintas, was the chauffeur for the original owner Mrs Chase, of Watertown , Connecticut (as in Chase Brass Co.).He was with her the day it was purchased and it was willed to him. Johnny passed away around the turn of he century so he was associated with the car for about 60 years

It is the two tone green scheme used on the car in the current discussion. The dash is some sort of combination of greens and perhaps cream, but not woodgrain. I haven't seen the car for about 15 years, but found it for sale on the internet about a year ago, in Chicago

A black 180 formal sedan was purchased at the same time and was owned by the late Jack Behn, also of the Eastern Packard Club. The last I know, it was in Ohio. I had he pleasure of driving this car partway to the Packard Centennial


The 1941 Data Book, 1941 Salesman's book, parts book, and mid year Dealer's color scheme updates have minor discrepancies in the exterior and interior color/trim combinations
