Re: Good price, considerations for 1936 Packard 120 Luxury Touring Sedan

Firstly, there is no such designation of "Luxury" as related to, or differentiating this sedan (992) from any other. Sidemounts were simply an option. I have not looked beyond the picture posted, so my comment is merely from limited perspective, but the sidemounts seem awfully high on the fenders, a trait suggesting the sidemounts may be from a '35. Gimme more pictures and I can provide more than a jaded comment. 40K is over top dollar for this car, but surely something is drawing you to this specific car, so who am I to judge what it is worth to you. Nevertheless, I strongly urge you, as I would anyone, to see it, touch it, and drive it yourself before making a decision. You might find the smile on your face even greater than anticipated, or be darned glad you listened to what you know is good advice.

Finally, as to the "140" line, you may be trying to comprehend Packard's series identification, 1401, 1402, etx refer to the 14th series Eights and Super 8's which are a TOTALLY different category of cars, often referred to as "senior" Packards. Much more expensive cars....
