I believe that 115C Convertible Coupe is the one completed several years ago. The sidemounts to me just don't look right. What a difference 5 inches make. Oh the cost is $72,900 I think I will pass on that one. Pretty Red paint however

1936 and 1937 120's Are what we like best. But we also like all other Packards too.

115-C's never had side mounts as an option. Cars with them were "created" by owners that really should have just bought a 120. IMHO

Those sidemounts are way to high for it to look good. It looks way out of proportions.

Doubt you could even check the oil without having to remove one. I prefer mine in the trunk...with the kids!

Which is why Packard didn't offer them on the 6 cyl with the shorter hood and fenders. Really shows off the incorrect wheels though.

There is a lot of "self-expression" on that car if you look at the details.

“Restored” by definition means put back to original. This one is by far NOT restored and looks ridiculous with those towering sidemoints that do not fit the 115’s short fenders. Even the later Six and 110 with their larger front fenders did not have room for side mounts.

I found the inspiration in another truck they are selling (same fender?).

I agree it just doesn't look right on that car. Reminds me of when someone has a mole on their face that you can't help but stare at.
