Agreed, an old friend from church gave me a lead on a 1941 110 special that a widow wanted to sell, needed cash.
The car was being restored by her late husband. He had it repainted non-packard two tone. The paint job wrong colors aside, was incorrect as to the way Packard painted two tone. He had the entire car cream with maroon fenders etc. The interior was crush velvet maroon and looked like something that belonged in a Brothel. the car has not been started in years, dash needs restored etc. The son is the negotiator and got quite offended when I balked at his firm price of $35,000. tried to explain while a nice job, it is incorrect, mechanically unknown,and only if resorted properly to concurs level would he even have a chance at coming close to that price, and to do so would take around 40k for correct paint and interior. Needless to say, they sill have it today and people continue to pass.

Hi
".....elderly sellers out of touch with the current market reality" seems to be endemic to CL, not just Packards, practically any make you can think of. Never try to talk sense to them, it just hardens their resolve to try for the unrealistic price. Not to be ghoulish, I just conclude we'll see those in their estate auction. A '36 Eight sheet metal: https://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/cto/5423114849.html A '38 Super Eight 1603 sedan, very nice, looks worth the price: https://raleigh.craigslist.org/cto/5408702483.html A '39 Six two door sedan, much incorrect, pricey: https://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/cto/5399292923.html A '40 110 sedan, not hiding anything, extra parts: https://tallahassee.craigslist.org/cto/5423112147.html Steve

Did anyone note the Fluer d" Lee (sorry about the butchered French!) rear trunk ornament on the 40 110? That means that it is a very early model - Packard switched to the coat of arms rather quickly.

Here's another V12 touring sedan but this time a 37. The car drives but the clutch is stuck, how do you know it drives? No interior or engine pictures, but the picture of the steering wheel shows some of the door panel fabric and it looks a little rough. Is this 1 of the packards that sold in a California estate auction about a year ago together with a 33 and 34 packard?http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/5427740610.html
Btw, was a banjo steering wheel not standard equipment on a V12?

Interesting oil filter installation on the 40. After market spin on type? Looks like it is made for full flow operation. How does that work on this car?

I vaguely remember someone was making -- or at least advertising -- a spin on filter and adapter assy in the 70s or 80s that could replace the canister style filters. I believe the reason they were being promoted was the more readily available spin ons and easier to change aspect but don't think that is one of them. It must not have been that popular or else very expensive because aside from the ads don't think I've ever seen one on a car.
As I recall, on the item I am thinking of the tubing was different from stock and more hidden than the one on that car but at a quick glance the assy looked proper. There was a bottom cover over the spin on portion which made it look a lot like a canister. I believe the cover screwed on but won't swear to it.
