Don and Rachel's 1937 1095 120CD and 1098 Coupe Projects

I am finally to the point where I can start restoring this project. I have owned the car for about 18 months and during that time I have been aquiring the needed parts to make it enough of a car to call it a car. I looked at my garage and low and behold it is filled to the brim. I am there. A little history on myself. I have been into Packards for over 33 years. I bought my first in 1976 a 55 Clipper Custom. Drove a 53 Air Force Jr. Ambulance as a daily driver for many years. I have owned the below list of 37's

3- 1098 Business Coupes (My first in 1985 went to Australia)
2- 1094 Touring Coupes
6- 1092 Touring Sedans (hmmm in getting parts I have a complete one now, over collected again)
1- 1082 Touring Sedan

And finally 1- 1095 Sport Coupe My first project I will complete. All the ones previously had I would gather all the pieces and then need to eat or send a kid to school , so there were sold.

Here are the parts I needed to find to make mine complete

1. Complete dash
2. Good Front Fenders (I could have folded the ones that came with it and mail them)
3. Right side rear fender ( I now have three I kinda over collected)
4. All hood chrome( now have 2.5 sets)
5. All three rumble seat steps (still need the Bumper one)
6. Both Taillights
7. Deluxe Heater
8. Seat (Have to settle for one from a 1092)
9. Intake and exhaust manifold
10.outside door handles
11. Trunk Emblem (Car candy did not really have to have this part)
12. Luggage Rack Assy.
13. Both trunk Handles
14. Hood orn (Bail Cap for now)
15. All bumper guards and Bolts
16. 1 Wheel (4 on the car are early 37 without chain holes, it had to match the others Right?
17. Clock ( Okay I do have 4 clock deletes but I have always been a collector)
18. Headlights (Ones without holes on the bottom)
19. Headlight glass (1)
20. Horns
21. Windshield molding
22. Headlight reflectors
23. Banjo Steering wheel( another car candy)


So I hope that if I post here I will keep motivated to finish this one. My next post will have some starting pictures. Don

Try David Moe (Seattle Packards) for the rumble seat step that mounts on the bumper. He has replicated them. I bought one from him for my 115C Convertible Coupe. He may also have your manifolds (I got an exhaust from him). He is a regular advertiser in Packard clubs' magazines.

Don, try sending Flackmaster who is on here from time to time a PM. He is really big on 37 juniors, probably has most of what you need.

Best of luck,
Jim

G;day Don,

Will be a great project, will follow along eagerly as my first dream Packard was a '37 Coupe. Do you have info on where/who in Australia bought your first Business Coupe?

Sorry'
I thought my reply on the Australia car took but I will rewrite the story. In 1984 I sold a 37 120 business coupe to a George Miunder in Melbourne. He was in the business of buying chevrolet Crew cab pickups and 350 cubic inch motors. Taking then to Australia and rebuilding the trucks into RHD and rebuilding the motors. He would also buy 2-3 vintage cars in each batch he exported. I remember selling the coupe for 2000 USD it had a banjo wheel, radio, trunk rack. and heater setup. quite a deal, I often wonder what happened to it. George said he had the parts to convert it to RHD or he would not have bought it. I think now you can have a LHD car there, if I am not mistaken.

Here is the first picture of the project car when I first got it home. I have just about replaced all the bolt on sheet metal and have aquired lots of options for it.

Don,
Don't be sorry for technical glitches beyond your control. My for the info on the Coupe that came to Oz. May be helpful if someone here in PACA now owns the car and wants to trace its history and ownership.

Wife got jealous, she bought a 1937 1098 Business coupe that was in the middle of a restoration.BUT!!!!! a huge percentage of the cars body parts (fenders, front and rear, running boards, hood, grille, seat, grille shell, and other parts were destroyed in a fire, the basic body, frame and rebuilt engine was at another location and was spared. Having a complete 1092 as a donor we are able to save this car. So I think we can share the blog. Don and Rachels 37's
Her car will be taken to Wichita Kansas to the Great Plains Packard Clubs mechanic to get running and maybe put together some. It does have a few options on it Banjo Wheel, Deluxe Heater, Goodess of Speed, and a Trunk Emblem that says Packard 120. Timeline on taking it to the shop is the last week of June. Then I can concentrate on the 120CD Sport Coupe.

Yes Ozstatman I am going to put it in the list very shortly. Hows that for being proactive

Don,

You're quick off the mark, see the new '37 is already in the Registry. As I said elsewhere

Don's Banjo Blunder

Don's Banjo Blunder

Recently on eBay a nice looking 1937 Banjo wheel was up for auction. As it was in better shape than the two we have for these coupe projects I succumbed to the lure of the "Buy It Now" and purchased the wheel. After waiting patiently for our package to arrive that day finally came and when I opened the box I will go for the toned down version that I can repeat here is !!!!WOW!!!!. This is a bigger wheel. So after my ID 10T error I decided to do a little report as a counter measure so I will not make the same mistake twice. And I also thought I could place it here for others to not follow my suit and end up with a wheel they end up making a nice clock out of for the garage wall. In my defense when you look at a picture of either individually they do look similar and if the nomenclature does not tell otherwise you too can walk down the "now I have a part I can not use" path.

p.s.
I am going to make a clock from it but in good judgment I will not alter the wheel, just in case we win the lotto and I can do a senior Packard. Or if someone seeing it on my wall says "Hey I could use that wheel on my car". And down it goes". If I was made whole on my financial blunder or if our kid needs to eat.
