Re: Driving comparisons between the Packard Six and 120.

I recently had the pleasure of driving a 1939 Six, a 1941 110 (six), and my own 1940 Super Eight 180, all equipped with overdrive. I really enjoyed driving the 1941 110 (the '39 was good, too, but I had a hard time seeing over the steering wheel 
). The sixes were very peppy and light footed, easy to steer, etc., and they could be taken out on the freeway. As mentioned, probably no where near the top end of the 180, but they were a LOT more fun to drive than the 180... at least around town. I like the 180 on the freeway better because the wheelbase is much longer, and it can easily go 75mph+.
