Mystery Engine Serial Number

Posted by packick On 2019/4/22 12:09:18

I have a new Packard 120 owner who has registered his 1936 Packard 120 Convertible Sedan with me. However his engine number doesn't make sense. I am sure it is a replacement Packard engine, but what year and model is a mystery. The serial number is located behind the distributor and is 3234173C (maybe the C is a Q). As you know, Packard automobile engines had the letter before the numbers, not after.

Does anyone know what year/model this engine could be from, or do you know anyone in the club who is an expert on Packard engine serial numbers that could solve this mystery?

I have attached a file with a picture of the number. Sorry for the poor picture.

Thanks for your help.
