Hi,
1940 Packard 160 Super 8 Club Coupe. Picked up on 7/13/2024. The body is very solid. Only a few pings and dings to knock out and a few rust holes to patch. I will also post videos to my youtube channel as they come together.
Picked up in Pennsylvania, the car is now at my home in North Adams, Massachusetts.
Today I will start cleaning out and seeing what is there.

Congrats on purchasing the 160! Love the coupes. Lots of work ahead of you, but nothing you can't tackle. If the body is solid then you thankfully avoid most of the metal work. Are you planning on lifting the body off the frame?

Yes, Congrats on rescuing another 160. I hope you can use the Duchess Project blog to help you as everyone here helped me. There are lots of pictures and lots of problems worked on that are specific to '40 160s. I'll be following your progress with interest.

Hi Joe,
The Duchess discussion is quite a thread! Thanks for posting so much information.

I will keep ya posted on progress.
