There is a pretty 39 110 coupe for sale on Ebay.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Packard-Club-Coupe-Coupe-1939-packard-club-coupe-/231225019200?forcerrptr=true&hash=item35d615cb40&item=231225019200&pt=US_Cars_Trucks

Would the experts on 39's please look at the steering column color? It is handsome, but I think it is much too red, and should be closer to the center stripe on the chrome running across the instruments.

I'd also like an opinion on the wheel. Thanks

Possibly too much red. Hard to tell from those photos, though.

This is 1940. It looks browner than the red, anyway. I think it should be taupe, a dark grayish brown. There are a variety of browns used in restored cars that approximate the original. I hauled my whole steering column into the paint shop to get a match. Photo lighting makes a difference, too.

Thanks Joe - that is the color on my 39 120. I do like the ivory "banjo" steering wheel. I wonder if the ivory color was an option for the 120 with the standard wheel- the one I have is black.
