I had my Sylphon rebuilt for $250. At the same company that made it. It works as it should on my 1937 138CD Limo.
I have one 1937 CD radiator and several others that have the hump where a Sylphon can be added.

Not all parts interchange between 115s and 120 for 1937 for sure. The 115 cane was painted whereas the 120 was chromed. I have 7 of those. 35-38 trannys and have some mainshafts removed. PM me if interested.

Congrats on getting your family's car back. I though I would give some info on my Limo (1090).There are no metal handholds on the divider, just basically the lap rope holder on the divider wall. I have wanted to add metal ones as the jump seats in my 46 Custom Super Clipper(1651) look just like the ones in my 1937 138CD Limo. but it has the metal handholds in it.

When I got my Limo it was 12v and since then I have installed a complete new 6v harness. I also got rid of the 454 chevy that it came with.

I remember this car from the 70's. I believe it was the tow car used by Kenny Price from Maize Kansas. One time I was asked to steer a 1947 Custom Super Clipper for a couple hundred miles while on a Packard tour to Wesley Sylvester's place. Headliner was on my head the whole time. Oh those good memories.

One more thing I have noticed is that the cane shifter is not chrome but painted, That is off a 115C and not a 120C. Save your money. looking at 3-4k with the woodgraining to get that car right if it was done professionally.

Yes, defiantly too much for the money. It does appear to have a shutter grill but that's about all from a CD I can see.

I have seen these cars, which are close to me. This is where I bought my first Borgward Isabella. They did have a 54 2 dr Clipper complete but disassembled. I am not sure if it part of this group. If anyone needs better pictures let me know. This place is very close to Guntersville where the last 56 Packard was delivered. Maybe one of the cars there is it. Maybe worth a second look, as when I was there last I did not have the Vin written down.

Not on Craigslist but somebody did some splicing and dicing
1954 and maybe 1956 with a Continental kit. Not for me lol On an auction at 1k with a BIN @ 12k

I returned from Oklahoma last week and picked up a car I bought almost a year ago. It took a year for the man to clear a route to the outside of a big building full of cars. It is a 1946 Custom Super Clipper LWB 8 Passenger Sedan.It was sold by Jordan Motors of San Diego California on 11-18-46. The anti theft number is 688462. It's mostly complete but it is missing a few items, of which I will post later in the for Wanted/For Sale forum. It has had it's engine replaced, but the original was beside the car. (was buried when I first looked at the car). The head on the engine in the car shows 327 Thunderbolt. and the casting date was in 1948. I will purchase the original motor and have it delivered by the end of the year. I have included a picture of a truck that is my shop tow vehicle. It is a 1954 F350 Express. This same truck was in the 1988 movie BeetleJuice and was driven my Micheal Keaton.

I also will be making my 1937 138CD blog a Don's Garage Blog as I have 5 packards, 2 Borgward Isabellas, and a 1954 Ford F350. But I will try to have my postings at least 90% on the Packards.

I will include this car in the owner database later today, As I know I will be prompted to by the Packardinfo Statesman from Oz.
