Man, I feel like an absolute heel for saying this, but I just can't abide the yellow. I agree, it is excellent in every capacity, and the price is great, but the banana cream-pie yellow is a bit much for me. Besides, I've got to marshall my finances.

Please don't think I'm unappreciative for the suggestion. It is good know, however, what is available.

Well here's a silver one:

For the asking price, looks good.

A few problems:
Filthy engine - easily remedied
LR fender trim askew - easy fix
Headlight shades - easy to remove
Radiator grille ornament - easy fix once correct one found
Trunk lid fit - may not be an easy fix
Rear bumper to body valence missing - easy fix once one if found

Paint looks decent, as does the interior. Looks to have overdrive. Can't decide on spot lights being a plus or minus.

Overall, a decent looking 120 touring sedan.

It is all about condition, condition, condition.

the silver one is a 110- the interior looks really good in the photo

You are absolutely correct, a 110 not a 120 as I posted.

Here's a nice looking 1938 eight (previously known as 120). This time not a banana cream pie

They added seatbelts and moved the battery under the hood.

This may be the nicest one of the group, and the most expensive. It looks to be well done. Luggage rack is a nice option. Battery can be returned to its original location if that is an issue. I like the rubber front floor mats. Usually redone cars have carpeting which is incorrect.

It has been for sale for several months already so its probably negotiable.

Ah, yes. That's more like it. You're correct, it is a beautiful car. Where would have the battery have originally been located? And why would it have been moved, not that it is a problem. Does moving the battery compromise the function of the engine in any way?

Battery is originally located under the drivers seat between the cross members of the frame. Having the battery under the hood is just more convenient when you have to jump it. Moving the battery doesn't make a difference for the engine.

For the more seasoned Packard lovers: what's the black concoction that's bolted on the left of the engine (connected to the head and the water pump). It also has a fill opening on the top, my first thought was power steering but as easy as my 120 steers I cant believe anyone would put that on.
