I'm one of the posters who has previously put up the 1939 120 Convertible Coupe located in the San Francisco Bay area. I'm currently looking for a 120 Convertible Coupe as I really want to trade up from my 1939 Six. But this car just has too many things wrong with it and is ridiculously overpriced for the condition. You can start with the tacked- on 1940 front end sheet metal and the terribly incorrect cheap vinyl interior. My car does have some obvious flaws, but this one makes it look great by comparison.

Here are a few new Craigslist posting that I'd like to put up for readers of this forum:

1939 Super 8 Sedan. Incomplete parts car consisting of the body shell, chassis and intact interior, including a banjo wheel, instrument panel with reasonably nice plastic and a deluxe radio. This car was part of the recent C. Lewis Ablelove collection auction and sold for $500. If someone buys this, please contact me. I may want the radio for my '39 Six.https://rochester.craigslist.org/cto/d/phelps-packard-1939-super/7495335640.html

1941 110 sedan. Looks like a really nice original car at a reasonable price. Huntsville, Al area:https://huntsville.craigslist.org/cto/d/huntsville-1941-packard/7491618882.html

1954 Convertible. Not a Caribbean but looks like a really nice car and price seems fair. I'm a prewar guy, but I do like the looks of this one. Sacramento, CA area.https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/d/antelope-1954-packard/7495334841.html

1935 120 Sedan with dual side mounts. Looks like a nice restoration, but can anyone comment on why the side mount covers appear to be sitting up so high? You'll need to "know the way to San Jose" to see this car in person as that's where it is.https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/d/san-jose-1935-packard-120/7483230378.html

1955 Caribbean. Looks like a really straight original car with a lot of potential. Does need work, especially the interior, but it is from sunny Southern CA and is clean and rust free, with nice paint and chrome. Question for readers. I thought that only the 1956 models had the reversible seat cushions, but this 1955 has them. Did someone swap out the interior with a '56? Call me Confused in Connecticut.https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/d/antelope-1954-packard/7495334841.html

Hope you enjoy these postings and maybe I can drum up some interest for the sellers.
