A few from Ohio's Mahoning Valley:

1949 Custom 8 Sedan . You can't restore one for only $15K.

1955 Clipper Panama. When you're asking $14K for a car, you've got to do better than a picture of a picture.

Hi

Here's my CL search set-up for Packard:
richmond.craigslist.org/search/cto?query=Packard

Simply change the city in the drop-down list to one further away to step from one region to the next. If one isn't that familiar with those states, it helps to have an atlas handy.

A couple 22nd LWB sedans:
A'48, looks to have been in good shape before poor storage:
richmond.craigslist.org/cto/5919926805.html

A '49, no photo, list work already done:
richmond.craigslist.org/cto/5888488668.html

Looks like it was a typo. They dropped the extra '0'. Now it looks like a reasonable offering. I think it's a Super 8 (327 with overdrive). Would have been nice if they included at least one shot of the engine compartment.

Just out of curiousity, when was the first introduction of overdrive in US cars? My recollection is Chrysler was first, about 1934 or so with the introduction of the Airflow.

I'd sure like to see the original manual for the OD.

There's lots of incorrect info on that 7th series listing.
The solenoid on the OD is the small type which wasn't introduced until about 1949. No electrically controlled overdrive was available in 1930.

The leather is said to be original, but the grain pattern and finish are incorrect for 1930, it's much more modern "hair cell" grain.

Much on the car shows signs of restoration, we've all seen enough survivors to know the difference. I wrote the seller and told him what I saw, don't know if he changed the listing.
