That's the way they all were so whether 120 or 160, it was impossible to tell but most were 120. Even in 1951 and 1952, they had Patrician-like trim but they had the 5-main 327 rather than the 9-main of the Patrician while in 1953 and 1954, they had Cavalier-like trim but only the 1954 had the senior senior 359 engine. The 1948-1950 models all had the 356 as far as I know with the Custom's egg crate grille but it wasn't interchangeable with the passenger car and neither were the front fenders.

There was a Miller Art Carved at a Professional Society Meet I went to in Henney's hometown of Freeport, IL but most in attendance were Henneys due to it also being done in conjunction with a Henney employee reunion. I was there in my 1952 Henney-Packard Nu-3-Way which won the long distance award. Not too clear in the photo but I believe that's it in the background with my 1952 up front and George Hamlin's 1953 beside it.




On second thought, that's not the Art Carved in the background but here it is in a page from a multi-page newspaper publication about the meet.

1940 110 Touring Sedan (two door). Great project car. Sheet metal is exceptionally straight, though do see some floor issues in the photos. Original seats unbelievably well preserved. Ad states seats were covered since new and are original. They have been removed from car and carefully wrapped. Have never seen fabric like this before and you would be unable to duplicate it today. Will need door panels to complete interior. Car has been in dry storage since 2010 and is not running but engine is free. Asking $7K. Lincoln, NE:

New FB Marketplace post

1956 Patrician. Original car with typical rust over headlights. Some side trim is damaged. Original green leather and brocade interior actually looks pretty useable as is. Car is not running, and engine is seized. Seller says he has a second engine for parts. Ad states 66K original miles. Appears to be original paint (Dover White over Persian Aqua - Scheme ML). Restore or parts. Asking $2,500. Wisconsin:

Just posted today on Craigslist:

1941 Packard 120 Touring Sedan. Solid unrestored but will probably need everything or close to it. Barn find. Ad states car has been in storage in a garage since 1962. Not running. Asking $9,500. Maine

New posting this morning on FB Marketplace especially for V-8 fans:

1956 Executive Sedan. Appears to be a really great survivor car just out of long-term storage. Not much detail in the ad but looks promising. Body looks really straight, and I don't see any major issues. No interior shots, so have no idea what that looks like. Very attractive two-tone paint scheme, think it is Dover White over Shannon Green (Scheme MA). This car is definitely worth checking out for the asking price of $6,500. Watertown, NY which is in the western part of the state near the Canadian border. I was actually there once many years ago.

1941 - there are better cars available for this price.
1956 - I see potential bondo at the rockers and rear fenders, considering that the car is from up north, I am not very optimistic :(

Agree that the 1941 120 in Maine is way overpriced at $9,500. A few months ago, I went to look at a 1938 120 Touring Sedan that was a very solid and original survivor car. It needed some work, but it was a running and driving car with new tires and really didn't need much to be fully functional. The seller was only asking $7K. I think a good price for the Maine car would be below $4K. The '56 Executive might have some bondo, but at least it is not all gone around the rear wheel wells, which is common on these. If the skirts are on the car, it might not be too bad. If the interior is nice, this one might be worth a look. I would try to get him down on the price though. Would have to be under $5K.

Just spotted these:

1940 110 Touring Sedan. Abandoned restoration project. Has been sitting in a back yard for an extended period. Engine, glass and interior are out of car. Body does not too bad at all. Have a thing for '40 110 sedans, one was my first Packard 45 years ago. Many years and Packards have gone by since. Think this one is salvageable, but it will take a lot of work. Just posted today on FB Marketplace. Seller only wants $500 which is close to scrap value. Michigan:

1937 Twelve Limo, Model 1508. Fully restored running and driving car. Looks magnificent in dark maroon. The one big drawback I see is that the interior was done in a modern red velour fabric instead of the original wool broadcloth. Looks like the stuff they used in some GM cars back in the 1980's like the Buick Electra or the Olds 98 Regency. This will obviously impact the value. But at least the pattern looks correct. Asking $55K. Illinois:

1935 1201 Convertible Coupe. Restomod of a rare and very desirable senior classic Packard. Don't like it at all, but what is your opinion? Lowered suspension and modern drivetrain, but sheet metal and trim kept original. Seller wants $100K. Vermont:

facebook.com/marketplace/item/1031499869118741

1953 Patrician. Solid original car which has been in storage for years and is not running. Big black sedan. Photos not of good quality, so hard to tell exactly what kind of shape it is in but obviously needs some cosmetic work. Or just get it running and use as is. Anxious seller only wants $1,100 and it is probably worth at least that. Modesto, CA:

Few new postings today on FB Marketplace:

1941 120 Touring Sedan. Decent older restoration in solid black. Interior redone but pattern does not look correct. Think this car could be a good driver, but at $20K, I think it may be overpriced. Much recent work including new tires, shocks, fuel pump, generator and gas tank. Running and driving car that is currently registered. Indiana:

1948 Deluxe Eight Sedan. Beautifully preserved original car, probably one of the best I have seen of this model. Runs and drives great. Has wide whites and a cormorant hood ornament. Ad states 43K original miles and it certainly looks it. Seller asking $10,500 which I think is quite reasonable for a car this nice. Virginia:

facebook.com/marketplace/item/1397943714879143

1940 110 Touring Sedan. Older restoration. Exterior looks decent but mostly original interior looks somewhat worn and shabby. Asking $15K. Just posted today. South Carolina:

facebook.com/marketplace/item/1601470217227995

1951 200 Deluxe Club Sedan. Needs restoration but body looks relatively solid and most of the chrome looks useable as is. Looks like front seat was redone in vinyl. Ultramatic trans. Has optional rear fender top ornaments and a cormorant hood ornament, but it is the '53-'54 cormorant. Seller asking $2,200. North Carolina.

1949 Station Sedan. Very rough and rusty car. Not sure if it will even be feasible to restore. Wood pretty much all gone and will have to be replaced. Seller also has what appears to be a 23rd Series sedan for sale. Not sure of model, but think is a Standard or a Deluxe Eight. Rough unrestored car with most trim parts removed and piled inside. Asking $4,500. Alabama:

1940 110 Touring Sedan. Very solid unrestored car. Ad states car runs. Not bad looking, could probably be used as a driver with minimal work. Asking $9,500. Nevada.

1951 Patrician. Unrestored original car which looks like it was just pulled out after decades of storage. Ad states 22k miles. Might clean up pretty well, but sure needs a good wash and polish. Asking $5,200. California:

facebook.com/marketplace/item/990356819674038

1941 120 Coupe. Stunning full restoration in beautiful light brown over dark brown paint scheme. Interior redone in wool to a very high standard in the authentic pattern. This is a show quality automobile. Ad states restoration was completed in 1977, but it is obvious that it has been very well maintained ever since. Asking $38K. California. This one is my pick of the day:

I'm surprised you think the black 41 is overpriced at $20k. I don't see anything not to like aside from it not being a 100 point authentic restoration.

That 51 coupe could be a very nice gentleman's cruiser, I'll need to keep it in mind...

The guy with the 51 Patrician can keep dreaming, the rear ornament is faded to white so that car has seen some actual use. Doubt it's in much better shape than your average project not pulled out of some field.
