To me, flat black on everything is a red flag the seller is trying to cover up expensive problems.

That '36 120 looks pretty straight. The seller certainly doesn't seem to be trying to pass it off as if it were Concourse ready! Sometimes with old cars, owners without the means to proper maintain a car might go ahead and paint over spots to try to stave off rust. The car does not look abused, but I think the price seems a little high for a car in that shape.

Turning to the 1947 7-passenger sedan, my first impression is WOW! It looks to be an honest driver that wouldn't break the bank to take it to the next level. You'd sure be a hit with your friends with this car!

Fifty bucks for that '39 120???!!!!

That's what I just said! I fear a few zeros are missing and then it's way too much.

I'm amazed that this 37 super eight touring sedan on 134" WB won't sell at this "junior" price.

Does seem odd as this is a very handsome original car and a full classic. Maybe price is low because the '37 "Super 8" is really a re-branded standard 8 (320 c.i.) and also because this is a touring sedan, which many consider the least desirable model. Not sure what an equivalent condition '37 120 touring sedan typically sells for.

Well this is not the 1500 on a 127" WB. I think it's quiet an unusual car cause the extra 7" WB was setting you back another $200 brand new. Maybe O_D van shed some light on estimated production numbers between the 1003 and 1013?

A nice 37 120 touring sedan can be bought in the $20-25k range. I've been contemplating this super 8 but how many Packards does one need?

Well BDC I've always been told that things are always bigger in Texas. So you mite as well go ahead and get that darn old Packard cuz you just might not have a big enough collection.
