Re: Some general questions about 30's Packards

I don't think you could squeeze the L head Packard eight under the hood of a 30's era Packard six (110/115).The 120 is about 5 or so inches longer than the 110/115 just for that reason.The two bodies do share a great deal of parts.

There are several brochures on this site that will be of help,including the 1938 Packard Six & Eight brochure.

I take a stab at the proper way to pronounce Syphalon,
Sie-fa-lon ? (I failed english and it shows!! lol)

I haven't had my right door panel off since last Febuary,but I'm almost positive it say's Budd on the Patend tag ?
You said in your first post That you "like the smoothnes of the V8" -The Packard L head 6 & *8 cylinder engine's are some of the smoothest running engines in the world!
Packard Motor Car Co. has been called "The Rolls Royce of The U.S.A.(I'm think it might have been the other way round!)

Too all reading this and looking for a car-look at Craigs list -San Fransico and Sacramento- A couple of nice Packards are listed.
