Re: Driving comparisons between the Packard Six and 120.

I recall that the late Carl Altz, who had been a test driver just about forever at the Proving Grounds was quite adamant that the late 30's sixes were his favorite to drive.

Have personally driven a few and liked them quite well as they were very light on their feet. For modern usage, overdrive is about a must.

A customer's 38 with low miles and good upkeep was quite a revelation for smoothness, quietness, and an outstanding ride.
