Packard Forum Index » Pre-War (1899-1942)

Hello all,

I'm new to this group and have a 1940 Packard 120. I am trying to find out if anyone knows how many were manufactured and how many have survived. Thanks.

Welcome! Packard produced 28,158 "120" models for the 1940 run spread across 13 body types. Packard kept no records of the production totals by body style but a reasonable estimate for the club coupe based on analyses of prior years would be 2-5% of the total. I see 17 survivors listed in The Packard Club membership directory though there are probably more than belonging to non-club members.

G'day TWB,
and I invite you to include your '40 120 Club Coupe in the Packard Owner's Registry here on PackardInfo!

Welcome. What a jaunty, nifty car. 1940 Packards were the lightest the Company ever produced, terrific road cars.
Was yours always in the UK? What equipment/options? One-Twenties, in fact, all the 1936-47 Packards on the standard, shortest wheelbase with the 282-ci engine, were and are as fine a road car as available at any price from either side of the Atlantic in those years.

TWB, if your car right-hand drive?

Thanks Owen. As soon as I register mine there will be 18!

Regards

Thanks for the welcome, looks to be an active forum!

Mine was restored up in Oregon over 3 years finishing in 2010 and then sold to a chap in Jersey, CI, UK. I just bought it last week so very exited waiting to get on the road.

Unfortunately there was something wrong with the pain job that resulted in crazing. I now have her in for a bare metal re-paint. But keeping to the same original French blue colour.

I'm not entirely sure of all the option, but the colour code was 'Z'. Heater, overdrive, kick down, crystal radio are all there and working. The fender skirts (or spats as they are called over here) were and option , but have been added. They add about 8" to the width so they have to be removed to get in and out of my garage.

Oh, almost forgot, here is the link to the video made in 2010 that sold me on the Packard:youtube.com/watch?v=wjisKKm6WBo&list=PL9732DD5ADFD5DFAF

I also have over 200 restoration photos in my file.

Regards,
Thom

Nope, mine is LHD I have seen one Packard 120 Doctors coupe for sale here in the UK that is RHD.

Hmmm...I followed the link to register my Packard 120 and found that she is already in the register! See: (1395) One-Twenty Club Coupe - DavidA

I bought the car from David.

So, what do I do next to register in my name?

G'day Thom,

Thanks for advising us of the previous owners Registration of the Coupe. I have marked that entry as "SOLD".

Accordingly, you can now go ahead and Register your Coupe.
