G'day Andy,
Sorry ![]() But if you do purchase it, please remember to include it in the Packard Owner's Registry.

Members may be reluctant to comment on the value of one another's Packards, so you might start following this thread backwards from here
https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=12534&viewmode=compact&order=ASC&type=&mode=0&start=2790& looking for '40-'42 110s to get a level on condition/value for yourself. Part of the problem with these Craig's List and eBay listings is that they expire and because they are only links and not attached photos, the images are lost. Still, you can get an idea of what's out there for what price and often with positive and negative opinions regarding authenticity, appropriate pricing, desirability. At the bottom of the page you can choose to have all Craig's List picking posts emailed to you. To me, it looks like a clean car from a nice neighborhood. Joe

Ozstatman- if I purchase it I will be sure to add it to the registry!
JoeSantana- Thanks Joe, I completely understand and agree with you on members valuing others cars. Just trying to make sure it is in the right ballpark to make a reasonable offer and good investment .

Good Morning...If the old girl runs and drives as well as she looks, then I think that it will give you pleasure. I often think that the Packard automobiles that are priced moderately are at a level that many of us can purchase simply to drive and enjoy without worrying too much about the cost.
When asked about resale, one of my friends always answers 'That is a problem for my heirs!' We, or our relatives, will see a return of a good percentage of the cost at any rate. If the car has been in very regular use, it will most likely be pretty well maintained. If it was only used now and again to drive around the neighborhood at low speed, then things might require more repair. Actually, mechanical repairs are easier in my most humble opinion, than interiors, body, paint and chrome...Good Luck...Enjoy...Ernie

there's a very minor and common detail in the cat walks, the lack of paint in the recesses - that's trivial in both cost and effort.
It looks like there is plastic on the interior. Know what you've got there. Good original, authentic restored, period restored, polyester blend? Whatever it is, it's serviceable enough to not replace, but does impact the market price.
