That is a wonderful looking old limo. Being a 1942 it just has to be a very low production model too. Gives me hopes of finding such a gem closer to my location someday.

Kevin, for $ 2500-3000 you'll have it delivered home in an enclosed trailer. That's a lot of car for that money!

Hmmm.... you do know that body style #1571 is a Touring Sedan and not a Limo?
According to the NADA Guide the Low Retail estimate is $17,200 Definition of Low Retail Value: This vehicle would be in mechanically functional condition, needing only minor reconditioning. The exterior paint, trim and interior would show normal wear, needing only minor reconditioning. May also be a deteriorated restoration or a very poor amateur restoration. Most usable 'as-is'. This value does not represent a 'parts car'. Given the unknown nature of the motor not being run in 4 years, the alligatoring of the paint and overall worn condition IMHO you could get it for less than asking price. It is very restorable condition and the only thing I see lacking is the clear fender light lens and those are now being re-popped in glass.

Whether those are touring sedans or Limousines, we can agree they are LWB cars and not the 'normal' length.
I bought my 1942 180 Limousine for $2000 and will have $3000 to get it transported, so I am in for $5000, obviously. I think $13,000 is too high, and the market will advise him accordingly. But I am also often wrong. It just takes one passionate person to buy it at + $10,000. I don't see it happening though. The 1941 LWB car is a nice looker too. But unless you are very wealthy with disposable income, these cars will not be getting correctly restored. I expect to drop about $80,000 into my restoration and when done, it might be worth $35,000 and even then there will only be a pool of buyers I can count on one hand. Sad but true. So I am just not sure where these LWB folks get these prices? Price guides are worthless for this reason. There is a fellow on the AACA Packard Buy/Sell that has a 1942 180 Limousine for sale, and I think he is north of $10,000 as well and it's in worse condition then these 2. Lots of parts, which he added up and added to the price of the car.

Hi
This could be one sweet original '36 120B sedan: binghamton.craigslist.org/cto/4653739273.html Looking closely at the photos of the windshield, one can see the mesh under the insert showing, general views look to have that covering missing. As dark as the interior is, perhaps the headlining is still in place. Those old Western Auto seat covers might be hiding good original seats if we're lucky. If you like the idea of an original AACA HPOF Class Packard, don't let this one get away. Steve PS: If anyone is interested in this 120, I live about 140 miles from Binghamton, will gladly go and assess its condition for potential purchase. Cost will be reasonable.

The very nice LWB Custom Clipper above highlights the LWB pricing dilemma. Owner states more then $70,000 into the car and is asking $48,500.
