Here's a 36 120 showroom album brochure. According to the seller these brochures were for dealers only. The accessory that caught my eye was the clock in the mirror! Nothing new under the sun I guess (don't forget to rewind it every day. I didn't know they had a deluxe model in 36, but according to the description on the heater there is.

Where to begin on the '37 120, let's see, we can start at the front bumper. Actually, both bumpers are missing the horizontal black painted stripe across their centers, and that big central front bumper guard is something I've never seen before on a '37. The original front and rear bumper guards seem to be missing their black striping, also. Under the hood, as mentioned, sits a latter-day oil bath air cleaner. Moving to the interior, it's hard to tell but I don't think the seating cloth is quite authentic, buttons are missing from the seat cushions and seatbacks, and the pleating should extend all the way up and over the top of the seatbacks. The cloth on the left rear quarter and left rear door trim panels looks puckered and loose. The garnish moldings and rear seat ashtrays are painted a light color, they should have been woodgrained. It looks like the fine pinstriping is missing from the side window and backlight reveals. As mentioned, that's a lot of money for a car that is so inauthentic in it's restoration.

Yes, defiantly too much for the money. It does appear to have a shutter grill but that's about all from a CD I can see.

One more thing I have noticed is that the cane shifter is not chrome but painted, That is off a 115C and not a 120C. Save your money. looking at 3-4k with the woodgraining to get that car right if it was done professionally.

Hi

A few Contours to consider:

Some 1952's:
A 200 four door sedan, manual shift, typical eastern car, pricey:

A 200 two door, take a look at the dash picture, Ultramatic shift quadrant and clutch pedal?, scuppers and '53 fins:

That handsome Mayfair, price reduced, looks darn good:

He would hate the replies if it was chopped into a hot rod.

@Jeremy:
Be glad that people with packard knowledge gave an honest opinion about your car! Nobody said that your car is a POS.
I understand that price is negotiable but with a price this high you'll scare any potential buyers off very easily. For a point of reference: your asking price is more than what a similar model in the super 8 version would be going for.

Hi

Many car owners can't take constructive criticism even if it would help them improve their car by correcting what is inauthentic.

Anyway, from the southwest and LA:

A '49 Custom Eight, 23nd Series, desirable project:
