Hello,

I have a few questions about a '39 120 convertible coupe.

The dash and windshield frame/interior trim are painted the same color as the body. Is this correct for a '39 or should it all be wood grained?

Was a rumble seat an option for the '39 120 convertible coupe?

Were the two rear jump seats standard or an option for this car?

Thank you for your input.

Hello Roger:

Welcome to the world of PackardInfo.com - I see this is your first posting to the site.

I won't let on that you already own a 1937 Super 8 formal sedan because if I did then you would soon receive a greeting from a chap from OZ imploring you to list your Packard on the Owner's Registry.

Back to your questions.
? Dash: Should be woodgrained in French Burl Walnut, this is a change from 1938 when the dash was in "plain lacquer." You can verify this by using the Model Info tab and at the bottom of the page is a list of source material - download the Salesman Data Book
packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/1939_DataBook.pdf Look on page 90

? Rumble seat: Highly doubt it, others can chime in here

? Jump seats: Standard equipment, see page 95 of the Data Book. Therefore, since the jump seats were standard the is really no need for a rumble seat.

If you buy this Packard, then Mr. OZ will certainly be calling on you to list it in the Owner's Registry.

Best of luck

G'day Roger37,
As Roger said, to the world of PackardInfo.

And Roger's right, now that he's spilled the beans on your '37 Super 8 Formal Sedan and, if you buy the '39 120 Convertible Coupe, I most certainly invite you to include them in the Packard Owner's Registry!
