I don't know much about the post war models, so I was wondering how you know it has manual brakes?

I like the copper and white 55 Patrician in Dallas. OR are there 2 Browns in the 55 Paint chart because that looks darker then bronze?

The 1001 car was offered to me for $2200, so $3500 is fishing and it won't likely sell for that.

The 41 Hot Rod I am Ok with because there is a surplus all old cars, and 41 Clippers are not a hot ticket item.

The 55 in Oklahoma is also a nice car.

I agree, the 55 in Oklahoma looks to be a nice car but I'm always suspicious when there are no pics of the engine.

does not look right i fear.

This isn't Craigslist, but Ebay.

Read it and throw up in your mouth a little.

They are coming for Packards now.

On my monitor I can just make out the square shank of the pedal and the square-ish carpet grommet used with manual brakes, on that 56.

Thanks Ross!

On that 38 coupe on eBay they started out asking $125k. Its hard enough to get that out of an original 38 super eight coupe!
What a way to mess up a super eight coupe! The canvas covered side mounts and that front bumper alone make your toes curl.
And they're wondering why nobody is bidding.

I love this part of the description for the '38 coupe:

"Trying to improve the look of a Packard is a challenge and one the builder of this coupe thankfully met with reserve. All the major styling cues remain in place with just a few subtle updates. Up front, the big Packard grille hangs proudly, topped by a classic Goddess of Speed (or lady with donut) hood ornament and flanked by headlights in body-matched housings. ..."

Lady with donut??? That single statement tells you what you need to know about the seller. How they figured the builder "improved" the looks of this car is unfathomable. The way it is described makes this car sound like a rare classic. In fact, they even had the audacity to mention that a 1938 Super Eight coupe is a CCCA recognized classic. As if this car has any sort of relation to the original.

Anyone who is willing to part with 100 grand for this thing should have his/her head examined. If I wanted a basically new car for $100,000, I think I'd buy a lightly used Maserati roadster. At least I'd know I had an honest car for the money.

That being said Mr bumblebee, what is this car worth?
