Is the car still for sale?? and you said in your add that it would be an easy restore, what is needed to get the car back on the road and do you have more photos of the car and engine??

Thankyou

G'day M&M,
to PackardInfo. If you do purchase this Packard I invite you to include it, as well as any other Packards you may own for that matter, in the Packard Owner's Registry here on PackardInfo.

Hello,
I know its been awhile, is this car for sale?
Interested.
Roberto

1938 was packards first year for the all steel body

Not that it matters too much after 4 years, but just to keep the record straight that is an incorrect statement - it applies only to the junior cars. The 1938 Super Eight and Twelve were still conventional wood-frame construction, as was the Twelve for 1939.
