All you need to do David is make your wife fall in love with it, and she'll give you the "ok" to get it.

Here's the lower price on the 37 120 club sedan that looks all original. Maybe Ken can save this 1 as well and park it next to his other 2 37's.

Unfortunately, I only have a 2 car garage! I actually almost called on this one instead, but the Cleveland car was closer.

Either it's the greatest coincidence ever, or I know some of those auction Packards intimately. I don't know why they are for sale but I can find out by picking up the telephone. The 35 Super 8 is very solid with original wood that is in great shape. The body was never off the frame so the original fit has not be destroyed. I used to tell people that car was "Packards finest hour" when they looked at it. At one point I did an inventory of the parts and it looks like most were thrown together and primed for the pictures. If you look closely the glove box doors are missing. They were taken off for another car and I'll bet the knuckleheads around there put them in the trash or god knows where. It's a really dumb story about why they aren't on the car.

Hi

That '35 convertible Victoria would be a great restoration project, though on top of the purchase price is another $200K cost. I do hope there is someone with deep enough pockets to take it on. By the proportions, I'd agree that its likely a 1201 Eight rather than a 1204 Super Eight.

A few late Patricians, cheap but need help surviving.

Two Patricians keeping company with a '56 400, 22nd Series named 'Tubby' and various Hudsons, including a Jet, a '40 and a commercial-styled '39 112 (looks as if it should have been a truck!)

It's a 35 Super 8. Look at the horn button and the hood louvers. I did a parts inventory on it. It's a numbers matching car right down to the front axle. The sad part is who knows what those knuckleheads did with the rest of the parts. There were extra instrument boards, the interior trim and hardware and everything else. If the lot is what you see in the pictures then that's a problem. There were a lot parts around that operation. I wouldn't be surprised if they were using Packard headlight lenses for ashtrays.

I made a call and found out what the hell is going on down there.

In fact, here is a picture of the inside of the starter cover for that car I took to document the effects of ozone on the original Packard green.

1941 180 touring sedan: $23k

http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/cto/5195752789.html

The 54 Patrician that yard drives for $2500. Not bad. Gives you the one year only engine in a senior Packard in black.

Of course, it would require everything ultimately, to show and tour enjoy. I think the seller came to that conclusion.

Hi BryanMoran

If that '54 Patrician isn't a total rust-bucket, it might be quite a deal. As far as the interior, unless one is an absolute purist, fitting an interior salvaged from another Patrician is an options, as are seats from a recent Lincoln Town Car. Door panels are simple enough to cover with matching acceptable material. Could be a great daily driver.

1956 Clipper
Its not perfect but might be worth a grand for the AC alone. Its off the beaten path a bit, in the Ozarks.

If you want a lead sled but not a mercury like everyone else, you can consider this packard. It still has the straight 8 in it!
