Who buys a 1934 ANYTHING without a garage??

Couple of new FB Packard listings:

1955 Clipper Sedan. Ad states it is a '54 but is actually a '55. Think it is a Super Clipper based on the trim. Car has not run since sometime in the 1980's and is in a barn which appears to have partially collapsed onto the car. It is buried under debris. Retrieval will be challenging at best. Probably just a parts car at this point but may be restorable. Seller asking $2K. Philadelphia, PA:

1941 120 Sedan. Appears to be an older restoration which looks quite decent in the photos. Car has not run in at least 3 years and requires some work. Paint is a bit rough in some spots and I see some moth damage to the interior but nothing too bad. Owner inherited the car from his deceased uncle about 10 years ago and now wishes to sell. Asking $8,500.
Pennsylvania.

1940 110 Sedan. Rough unrestored. Interior ragged but appears largely intact. Damage to right rear fender. Looks doable but will require a significant effort. Basically, needs everything and has not run in years. Owner was going to streetrod the car using a Chevy S-10 chassis but abandoned the project before doing any work on the Packard. So, at least it is not cut up or anything like that. Asking $6,500. Illinois:

1950 Sedan with a 1949 (22nd Series) parts car. Appear to be both Standard Eights. Rough and rusty, but complete and good for parts. The 1950 might be restorable as only rust is in the driver's side rocker panel. But it would require full restoration. Interior is very rough. Needs everything and has not run since the 1970's. The '49 is very rough with the floors completely shot and some of the glass knocked out. Missouri:

1937 120 Touring Sedan. Very rough. Sheet metal looks fairly straight, but car appears to have been outside for probably decades and has deep surface rust. Roof center is gone along with most of the interior and wood looks really bad. But car is complete and maybe there is something you could use here. Doubt that this car is restorable but has many good components. Seller listed it as a 1936 Plymouth, but it is definitely a '37 120. Asking $2,800. Oklahoma:

How much you wanna bet they followed my tutorial video? 🤔

Didn't find very many new listings today, probably because of the holidays, but here are a couple:

1941 Clipper. Abandoned restoration project. Car is partially dismantled, but seller states he has all parts. Original black plate CA car so sheet metal does look really good. But car will need essentially everything to complete. Not running and ad states engine is in rough condition. Appears little has been done except to take most of the car apart. Asking $3K. Utah:

1950 Deluxe Eight Sedan. Excellent overall condition. Car is very clean with nice paint, chrome and interior. Needs very little. Asking $17,500. Idaho:

1940 120 Convertible Coupe. Overall excellent condition. Looks very sharp in dark red with tan top and wide whites. Car is running and registered. Only major flaw I see is that the interior has been redone in an incorrect pattern, particularly the door panels. If it wasn't for this deficiency, this could be a show worthy car judging from the photos. Asking $43,500. Probably still a good buy at this price. Note: Ad has the car listed as a 1937 but it is a 1940 120. Henderson, NV:

1956 Clipper Custom Sedan. Decent driver quality car. Paint is a bit dull, and I see some issues with the interior. Has pushbutton Ultramatic. Seller asking $11,500. Arizona:

And here is one from Craigslist that was just posted a few hours ago:

1956 400. Looks like a solid, mostly original driver quality car. Interior is original and shows wear, with some seams coming apart, but overall useable and presentable. Has push button Ultramatic and is painted in Mojave Tan Metallic (Scheme R). Asking $12K. Easton, PA (Allentown area):

"$425 for a remanufactured V8 headlight switch... seriously."
What a douche. I sold a restored one about 5 years ago, had trouble pulling $40 out of it.

1956 Executive Sedan. Rusty and rough but complete. Might be restorable but would at least make a great parts car if you are restoring one of these. Fredrick, MD. Asking $1,200:

facebook.com/marketplace/item/607500155029300/?

1941 110 Touring Sedan. Seller asking $150. But I'm asking if it is even worth it. Do you see anything useable here? I can't. Idaho:

1955 Clipper Super Sedan. Rough unrestored but complete and rust does no look too bad. Asking $1,250. Oregon. Seller has a bunch of other old cars in the yard including a 1960 Ford convertible:

That poor 110. I guess we should record the Vehicle Number and add it to the registry as scrapped, for future reference.

That 55 Super has a radio delete plate but an antenna knob... with no antenna hole. Someone explain that 😂

Do that!

The bakelite surround at the ashtray, the ashtray itself and the glovebox (whole or) bakelite surround might be good. My ashtray surround on my 41 Clipper is missing and a lot I see on rough/parts cars are sun-warped. Wonder if the someone wouldn't need those odds and ends?
