What's with people hiding their license plates? Anyone can see your license plates when your diving your car.

Restored 1940 160 engine does not run as smooth as it ought to....

Quote:


The 1955 is probably a repaint? Or is water giving it some extra shine? The price might also be a bit on the high side.
The 1956 - I was unable to get any information from the seller, what so ever, including where the car is currently located (because it is not where the listing is). Not sure what the deal is, here. It was listed for a while, now, and no takers. Maybe he does not even have a car?

I bet these are just copy cats. Flippers/scammers probably started doing this so that you cannot readily identify the car (for "valid" reasons, such as stolen pictures or mark-up listing etc.) and everyone else followed the herd because, apparently, "everyone is doing this"...

The Onieda hoard I have thought about going to, but really how much more stuff can I use...? Especially when Mike Dulinski is slowly liquidating his stockpile.

The 56 I also never got a response back. The pictures seem a bit odd to me.

Can't stop posting Packards that I find for sale online! Here are a few new ones. On May 2, 1949, Packard introduced the 23rd "Golden Anniversary" series, so we are just past the 76th anniversary. To celebrate, these postings are all 23rd series cars:

1949 (23rd Series) Club Sedan. Rough project car or parts. Think it is a Standard Eight. See quite a bit of rust.

facebook.com/marketplace/item/1204859137998196

1949 (23rd Series) Sedan. Stripped out body shell. Might be some good cut out sections, but that's about it. Somebody stripped this for another project. Asking $600. Ohio:

facebook.com/marketplace/item/271330136040253

1950 Sedan. Either a Standard or Deluxe. Repainted a horrible color blue, looks like it is an old Earl Schreib job as I seem to recall them using a color like this for their bargain specials. Runs but needs a lot. Asking $5K. Florida:

facebook.com/marketplace/item/921428822795216/

1950 Standard Eight sedan. Looks pretty good. Useable original interior and decent chrome. Body looks solid but poor quality repaint looks faded and deteriorated. Ad states car runs and stops. Asking $4,800. Virginia:

1950 Standard Eight Sedan. Very original survivor car with original maroon paint and interior. Dash and chrome look very nice. Ad stated compression is low in two cylinders, so it will need a rebuild. Think this is a very fair deal at the asking price of only $3,500. Granby, TX.

facebook.com/marketplace/item/1469502701100224

1949 (23rd Series) Standard Eight. Very nice original survivor car except for paint. Car was repainted light cream, but ad states original gold paint is still visible on the fire wall and under rubber mouldings. This must be one of the Golden Anniversary cars used in the driveaway promotion in 1949. Asking $13,500. Ravenna, TX:

facebook.com/marketplace/item/1053989210090132

1950 Sedan (Not sure of model). Abandoned and rusty field hen. Asking $900. Seller also has a 1951 Nash sedan in similar condition for $1,500. Think it is a Statesman model. Hannibal, MO:

1949 (23rd Series) Deluxe Eight Sedan. Clean car. Redone interior looks good, but not quite correct. Decent looking paint and chrome. Runs and drives. Has accessory sun visor. Asking $4,500. Arizona. Seems like a good deal. You could do much worse for this kind of money. Arizona:

Some new postings to share today.

1935 120 Sedan. This is the model with the flat trunk. Ad states car runs and drives. Great looking original car. Odo showing about 77K miles. Super straight body. Paint does look a bit dull. Undercarriage looks original but clean. Even has an original radio. No shots of seats so can't tell what they are like. But at $13,500, I think this car could be a super bargain. New York:

1956 Clipper Hardtop. Think this is a Super Panama. Abandoned restoration project. Car was partially dismantled in preparation for new paint, but project was never completed. Looks like car may have been repainted and then deteriorated somewhat due to poor storage. Actually, does not look too bad. All chrome looks very nice. Needs interior. Think this car is well worth putting some time and effort into. Very pretty white over turquoise color scheme (Dover White over Aegean Blue - Scheme MG). Asking $4,500. Connecticut. This car is about 20 minutes from my house.

1931 833 Convertible Coupe. Complete frame off restoration looks stunning. Chrome wires and wide whites. Burgundy body with black fenders and red leather interior. Has dual mounts. Gorgeous Packard. Asking $140K. Don't think that too many of us on this forum can afford something like this, but we can dream, can't we? North Carolina:

facebook.com/marketplace/item/664608373045102

1951 200 Standard Sedan. Base model Packard. Has Ultramatic drive. Really good original car. Ad states original paint and interior and odo showing 44k mile. Interior looks decent. Chrome all looks good. See some minor bubbling above fender skirts but body looks good otherwise. Ad also states that car has been in climate-controlled storage for past 20 years and is not currently running, but engine is free. Think this car would make a good driver. Has wide whites and a cormorant hood ornament. No asking price listed. Pennsylvania:

facebook.com/marketplace/item/1791858424714878

1929 633 Runabout. Older restoration with light tan body and chocolate fenders (bet it was done in the 1970's) with orange wire wheels. Dual side mounts. Has Trippe lights, grille guard and Goddess radiator ornament. Looks and runs well. Seller reducing car collection. Asking $69,500. Prices for early Packards seem to be declining significantly; cars like this used to be listed at over $100K not that many years ago. This does look like a really good one. Oklahoma:

facebook.com/marketplace/item/1862728564295553

1941 Henney Ambulance. Seller claims it is ex-U.S. Army. White with dual side mounts. Fully restored and does not appear to need anything significant. Seller asking $30K. Colorado:

facebook.com/marketplace/item/1328102961601502

1955 Clipper Custom Sedan. Original car but somewhat rusty and does not run. Seller did quite a bit of work on the car, including a new gas tank, but could not get it running and gave up. Thinks starter is shot. He only wants $500, and it should be well worth that in parts alone. Oregon:

facebook.com/marketplace/item/1020394320182127

1952 Henney Hearse. Rough unrestored but body looks very straight. Has stick shift. Might be a good project for Packard Don. Asking $9,995. Reno, NV:

facebook.com/marketplace/item/1036299591164395

These cars were on Craigslist.

1936 120 Art Carved Hearse by A.J. Miller Company. Partially completed restoration of an exceptionally rare vehicle. Much work has been done including body work and chrome. Body is now in primer. Original carved wood panels had rotted, and replacements were fabricated in fiberglass. Engine was rebuilt. Long way to go on this one but it will be an impressive vehicle when completed. Asking $29K. Cincinnati, OH:

cincinnati.craigslist.org/cto/d/ionia-19 ... rd-120-carved-panel/7849750700.html

1956 400. Solid original car but will require cosmetic restoration. Ad states "nice patina". Sure, if you are ok with rust and dents. But not too bad, actually. Needs paint and probably some chrome. New interior not installed. New wide white tires. Engine runs but needs brake and transmission work. Asking $6,200. Arizona.

phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/d/payson-1956-packard-400/7849562044.html

1948 Super Eight Convertible Victoria. Looks like original paint (French Blue). Interior redone, but not correct. Looks like a very good car otherwise. Has been in a museum since 2011. To be sold at auction on May 31, 2025, at the LeMay Marymount Event Center in Tacoma, WA. Spring Classic Auto Auction:

seattle.craigslist.org/kit/ctd/d/bremert ... packard-super-eight/7849448378.html

The 1956 Clipper says Super on the dash so it's a Panama. On the Henney, it looks nice but much not proper on the interior. For example, these never had carpet. Should be linoleum.

Quote:

Did you see the 1936 A.J. Miller Art Carved?

The Henney has a mix of Junior and Senior trim, but this was sometimes done at Henney

There is another Packard being auctioned off at the LeMay Center in WA. 1948 Eight woodie. Condition isn't terrible from what I can see. Not sure I love the woodie look on these years. Kind of seems like an afterthought to me.
