How the heck did they turn a sedan front seat into a hardtop front seat on that 55, and why??

I saw nothing in the listing that says that the 1940 Henney-Packard is a Super Eight and it would be highly unusual for it to be one. The majority were 120 (1801A in this case) with Super Eight trim. There were Super Eights but very, very uncommon. In any event, it looks like a good coach although whichever model it is, it is definitely not a service car which had blanked in side windows other than those in the front door.

It just occurred to me that if this is a Canadian-built coach, it may be a Brantford which I believe was owned by Henney but it could also possibly have been a Miller or other coach builder although it appears to be Henney (or Brantford) to me.

That 1934 is intriguing but at 79k miles I'm sure the driveline would need to be rebuilt straight away. Would be a very nice project for someone with some aptitude, and thankfully it's not a 12, so it would be easier and cheaper to do, comparatively.

PackardDon. I was going by the hood louvers which look like the ones on a Super Eight. But I know that you are an expert on the Packard professional cars, so I would defer to you.

Thank you for the kind words although I'm not as much an expert as some but I do know specific years well. The Henney 1801A (120) used the Super Eight 160 trim although the one in Facebook Marketplace appears to have incorrect wheel covers which look like the 1942 type or possibly postwar. This article shows one of the rare Super Eight models and it also shows a 1941 service car although some references to wheelbases on later models is incorrect. From 1948 through 1954, the wheelbase was 156" but the article has various numbers.

Packard Don: Thanks so much for the article on Henney. I have read other articles about the Henney built Packard professional cars, but this one contained info I was not previously aware of. Just goes to show that no matter how much you know about a subject, there is often still a lot you don't know.

Think that 1940 would be a great project for you to take on!

I'm afraid that at my age no more projects are needed or even wanted! If I did take it on, I wouldn't have time left to actually enjoy the result even if I got the work done and it's not likely I would.

One more from Canada:

1949 (23rd Series) Super Deluxe Club Sedan. Body No. 2375. Posting this one because it is such a rare car. Long wheelbase Club Sedans are quite scarce, especially for the 23rd Series. Do not think I have ever seen one of these before. Car is partially disassembled but appears complete with solid, rust-free sheet metal. All chrome is intact and appears to be in relatively good condition. Has Ultramatic Drive. Definitely a very worthy project. Asking $2,950. Windsor, Ontario:

I don’t see how the car be « complete » but without drivetrain
