This isn't Craigslist, but Ebay.

Read it and throw up in your mouth a little.

They are coming for Packards now.

On my monitor I can just make out the square shank of the pedal and the square-ish carpet grommet used with manual brakes, on that 56.

Thanks Ross!

On that 38 coupe on eBay they started out asking $125k. Its hard enough to get that out of an original 38 super eight coupe!
What a way to mess up a super eight coupe! The canvas covered side mounts and that front bumper alone make your toes curl.
And they're wondering why nobody is bidding.

I love this part of the description for the '38 coupe:

"Trying to improve the look of a Packard is a challenge and one the builder of this coupe thankfully met with reserve. All the major styling cues remain in place with just a few subtle updates. Up front, the big Packard grille hangs proudly, topped by a classic Goddess of Speed (or lady with donut) hood ornament and flanked by headlights in body-matched housings. ..."

Lady with donut??? That single statement tells you what you need to know about the seller. How they figured the builder "improved" the looks of this car is unfathomable. The way it is described makes this car sound like a rare classic. In fact, they even had the audacity to mention that a 1938 Super Eight coupe is a CCCA recognized classic. As if this car has any sort of relation to the original.

Anyone who is willing to part with 100 grand for this thing should have his/her head examined. If I wanted a basically new car for $100,000, I think I'd buy a lightly used Maserati roadster. At least I'd know I had an honest car for the money.

That being said Mr bumblebee, what is this car worth?

"HEY IS DOC SELLING HIS 200?"

Was for sale a fair while ago, see this thread.

Ok here's a 37 115 coupe that's "improved"

Edit: forgot the link

The 56 deluxe, the radio antennae is on the passenger side. Maybe the car started with a radio delete plate?

Really nice car, is the interior correct?

That's known as a "Riviera" interior option. They were contrasting colors that complimented the exterior color. They are listed in the 1941 mid year bulletin to the dealers when paint colors were added and dropped.

I have a copy of it on my computer somewhere. I think I found it on this site. If not, I can post it. The colors and interior trim in the salesman's book, dealer's book , parts list, and mid year bulletins are slightly inconsistent
