Apologies for digressing.
Though a purist at heart I do enjoy mechanical challenges and this will be one that is far more challenging than just installing a production diesel. My friend Ed up in NH who appears to have entirely too much time on his hands has been working for some time on making a SOHC cam version of a Packard 356 engine. There is some commentary on the PAC forum for those with interest. It will ultimely be installed in a 1936 "120" club sedan. Seehttp://www.packardclub.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2411 if interested. Attach file:  (117.63 KB)

To each their own I guess. I draw the line however at the place where one loses sight of the brand's original design intent.

1401 convertible coupe up for sale on ebay, but the color strikes as odd. Was this an official color available in 36? Also the reproduction factory plate makes me wonder if this car started out as a regular coupe from the factory.

It almost looks like it belongs on a 55 chevy, that color.

Hello BDC: That color is Chinese Red and it was only available (as a standard color) in 1938, not 1936. Also known as paint scheme Z. You can see a color sample on the PAC website. A fellow in MCP had a 1938 Su8 and the color was quite handsome paired with a tan interior. Cannot speak to the coupe to convertible conversion.
