Hi

I haven't seen one of those aftermarket turn and brake lights in years. Walking junkyards year ago I'd see items like that people added to their cars to doll them up or make them look more up-to-date, never thought much about it. We had Western Auto in this western New York area. Anyone recall who sold this type?

JW, do you know what they're asking for the touring coupe?

This is one of those cases where they are going to "restore" the car sometime soon and use it as a prop for their wine business. As far as I know it is not officially for sale, but someone with the right offer might convince them to sell. It has been two years plus since I first spotted it and nothing has been done. So far it has survived well, but it won't get any better as time goes by. A rare and desirable body style and year. Go for it.

It's a 36 and I prefer the 36 120 over other years; I like the dash so much better than the later models, and I like the increased cubic inch over the 35, although the 35 has suicide doors. I sold my 36 120 original business coupe and there are still days that I miss it, if I find the right 36 I might be convinced to buy it.

55 Caribbean, I could cry.

A parts car, and a marginal one at that IMO. Oh well, it just enhances the value of the rest of them.

$7000 !!?? Bloody Downstairs! Does the shredded blue tarp come with it?

For that kinda $ I hope it comes with about 10 acres that it sits on.

Two Packards out of the Automobile Driving Museum (where I volunteered until last June) are up for sale.

1940 120 Sedan

Given how few details are mentioned in the ads, I'm not convinced the guy representing them for the museum knows the cars...for starters, the '53 never was a CHP cruiser...but maybe you can swing a deal with them.

The 53 is an interesting car to be a museum piece.

The color of the upholstery is striking. Is that supposed to be code 504 Maroon Broadcloth which was available in Patricians or someones modern interpretation? To my eye it makes quite a loud statement -- particularly with the gray dash and window garnish. The short section of headliner color between the door panel and rear seat back also looks odd.

Am surprised to see it listed as a CHP cruiser. Even Broderick Crawford wouldn't rate a senior Packard so I'm with DrewLA. If it was a cruiser, CHP must have had lots of money in those days or someone was dreaming.
