My $0.02 worth. These 41/42 conventional-bodied Senior cars are in constant demand for an obvious reason, they are mechanically refined, highly roadworthy, and worthy successors to the big prewar Senior Packards before them. I don't see the lack of OD as that much of an issue though of course that depends on what you intend to do with it; without it these cars can and do cruise rather effortlessly at 65 mph and I don't know that we should be doing much more than that with 70+ year old cars. For my tastes, the sound and air would have to go, and the interior is really awful and worthless and would have to go, and that's about a $10K tab to do well. So to me, assuming good mechanicals, its overpriced by at least $10K.
