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

It now has the new tires, painted wheels and hubcaps on it. It has been a 12 year project with a few speed bumps thrown in along the way. It is finally totally assembled.
I did almost all of the work. I took it apart, stripped the paint, repainted it, made the new interior and top, installed the new rubber on the running boards and reassembled it. I also did a lot of minor body work. The new metal in the back end and fenders was done by a very talented man, Larry Rebsamen, who has since passed away. Two friends, Ken Ellison and Tim O'Mahony helped me with getting things ready to paint and with reassembling the car.
The pictures are as I bought it in 2001, new metal in the back end where there was a lot of rust and poor repairs done, and the car as it looks now in its Trianon Green Metallic, a 1936 Packard 120 color.

Looks great! What is the name of the green paint? Almond Leaf?

The paint is Trianon Green Metallic. I have the 1936 Packard 120 paint chips and had the local paint store mix a paint to match the chip.

CONGRATULATIONS

Looks great.

That is truly impressive! What a lovely car. Please post more pictures. Also, please post a video of you driving it. I will never own as nice a Packard, but I would happily share a thrill watching the video and thinking I am in the back seat.

Stately!

Just as impressed with that multi door garage.
Can't have too much garage space.

WOW!!!
