Garrett,
Although I have a '41 120 Coupe, 8 cylinders, after what I now know I wouldn't dismiss the thought of a 6 cylinder Coupe if I was doing it all over again. On a 5" shorter wheelbase in good condition the sixes are just as pleasurable to drive as an eight, was very pleasantly surprised with how well the sixes go after driving the eight. Helps to keep your options open.

nice looking car in NJ, but the paint scheme is "upside down." Factory was silver over dark gray.

I believe those running boards are correct, but will leave it to Mal for a knowledgeable reply. Look at the photo of the '41 120 convertible I posted in the Shows and Events section yesterday. It has the running board delete option.

41 running boards do not connect to either fender. If the running board delete option was chosen, there should be a rear fender gravel shield and a stainless trim on the rocker

I'm going to have to start frequenting Craigs List. I had no idea CL might be used to sell vintage cars. I figured that Packards would only be on Hemmings, Auto Trader, and similar sites.
Thank you for the link. BTW, were the spot-lights added or were those an option? kind regards Garrett Meadows

Thank you for the advice. Based on what you said, I'll definitely keep my options open. Although, I think it is a mental thing for me about having an eight cylinder. It probably goes back to when I was a kid and my late father would only drive an eight cylinder. Why? I don't know.
Kind regards Garrett Meadows

I was surprised to see A/C among the features. Did the car come with an A/C, or has that been added?
It is a nice looking car. kind regards Garrett Meadows

Try autotempest.com. You can search multiple places including Craigslist. That is how I found my car. Good luck!
