I think the trim is Eight Deluxe - stainless on drip rail, bright insert on window garnish, seams on door panel

I love the CCCA license frame on the 1938 junk rod. If you have an engine and a talented wife the car could be rehabilitated. I'd offer twelve grand tops. That's over a thousand per cylinder.

Hi
Just out of curiosity, what would putting that rodded '38 Super Eight formal sedan back to correct specifications cost? Presently, a fellow in Cleveland has three '38 Super Eight engines and parts for sale for $10K. One presumes a rebuild would be necessary. A correct transmission and ancillary parts have to be sourced as well. As far as the interior, though presently 'mouse-fur', could remain until a later time to re-upholstered. Still, it too would be more expense eventually. Ball-parks on eventual overall cost? Steve Might as well throw in a few '55's for today: Two '55 Clipper Sedans, various condition: chattanooga.craigslist.org/cto/4884767970.html knoxville.craigslist.org/cto/4888671735.html mcallen.craigslist.org/cto/4889632134.html The last looks to be quite a good deal. One poor 400 in need, overpriced of course: eugene.craigslist.org/cto/4853301017.html

A rebuild super 8 engine and transmission plus starter, generator, ignition system, oil cooler etc. And on top of that the modifications that has been made to accommodate the V8. The electric system that undoubtedly has been turned to 12 volt.
Just a shot from the hip but calculating time,parts, supplies and all probably in the $20-25k range. But on the bright side you have a big block chevy to sell (I'm not fond of the bow ties so we call it scrap). I guess Tim Cole is fairly accurate in his price. That would bring the car in the mid to high $30's.

A nice 39 110. Under the hood is still the straight 6 but it looks like a convert to 12 volt with the modern alternator. Also the heater hose is not connected (goes from the water pump to the head).

A 1948 roadster prototype? I've never heard of this car, maybe someone else knows more about it:

BDC, though the seller makes the claim, I don't believe there is any credible evidence that Packard Motor Car Co. had any role in this creation. Maybe someone else has information to the contrary....
