It was probably hit in the rear. For a while you could get plastic reproductions of the Su8 and Cu8 lenses. The glass ones were next to impossible. But you still had to have the housings. The missing front splash aprons are another next to impossible without a lot of friends. And the hubcaps are postwar. Forget about finding the correct ones which are a larger dish but look the same.

For someone willing to learn how to sew the interior could be redone. That interior is a disaster area. The radio block out leads me to think it was of government fleet. The government bought a lot of Packards in 1942. I doubt that color is original. It was probably done the same time as the horrific interior.

Who knows what kind of abuse the drive train has endured.

I'll wager $4,000 cash and a trailer will take it home.

You could make the following argument: "Buddy, even if you gave me this car for nothing I'm still going to regret it."
