Hey everyone,

We would definitely buy it to bring back a car to it's former glory that's been off the road for 30+ years. We really like restoring old cars and bringing them back to life.

We just wanna check that it's possible. I know all the parts are findable somewhere, but is there a good site or anything with all parts for this specific car? especially the mechanical parts like gaskets, brakes etc?

I guess all those parts are probably only made in the USA, so knowing where and what is still able to find would be really helpful.

In a couple of weeks we'll be checking out the car and fully inspect it. Are there expect the serial number plate on the firewall and the serial number on the engine any specific things we have to check for originallity or some points that are often heavily rusted/damaged?

Really thanks in advance guys.

Thanks for your input guys.
Our plan is to restore it in it's full original Glory, especially because it has quite some options like the Flying Lady Hood Ornament, fog lights, license plate frame from the garage, etc.

We already know that gaskets etc for the motor, carburator etc aren't hard to find. But what about the clutch, electrical parts etc? Are their any schemes to convert it to "normal" 12V?

Also, we live in Belgium, in Europe. Are there also parts here?

The biggest catch about the car that it's interior is just fubar. With that I mean the upholstery. The dash, seat frames etc are all there. Are there any parts or anything for that?

Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone!

My father and I spotted an old Packard 110 Touring Sedan from 1940 that looks to be in a good condition for a restoration (not to much rust, most of the chrome/trim is there etc.), but we don't have any experience with cars this old.

What do we need to check before buying the car? Are there any specific zones for rust, parts that have to be original, documents that have to be there etc.?

As far as I could spot it looks to have some nice options and the first 4 digits of the serial number plate on the firewall match the one from a '40 110 Touring Sedan.

Thanks in advance everyone
