I am not trying to stir the pot to boiling, its just that I don't understand. There are plenty of Post-37 120 Darrins and Rollsons, which the CCCA accepts, whereas the 36-37 120 Dietrich's, if I am not mistaken, and I would hope to be corrected, are not accepted by the CCCA, despite accepting all other 36-37 Packard Dietrich's (probably simply because they otherwise Senior cars..).
Not sure about the Ed Hermann car, I've seen that car, but never asked the CCCA question. There are even Graber's on the 115C chassis...

The bodies were not built by Packard, in fact, there is a Packard factory memo concerning further unavailability of the 120 Conv.Sedan bodies by spring of 37...
I'd like to think it wasn't just a matter of a box of leftover tags...

Were these cars "individual customs", NO, I accept that, but neither were many other CCCA cars accepted as Classics. YES, I am a CCCA member, and NO, I have not requested any further explanation from the committee. One day I may, but for now, I would appreciate additional understanding.
