The 1938 120 by Graber was shown at the 2012 Amelia Island Concours yesterday and took an award.
What a thrill to see it there! Pics from its restoration are here.

Yeah, it's lovely. I followed the restoration quite closely and quite a few pictures of it during restoration can be seen at:

Thanks for the postings and confirming that my attraction to Packards has got to be genetic!

Mark Graber, to further your genetic interest pursuits, you might want to see another very unique and lovely Packard by Graber, this on a 1935 Eight (senior) chassis, at:

http://www.packardclub.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=767

This was built for Werner Risch, Packard's agent in Zurich, for the Geneva Auto Show.

There is an error with regard to engine size in the text of the Amelia Island information card.

This is the poster car for "less is more." Notice how you see the car when not distracted by whitewalls, fog/driving lights, ostentatious hood ornament. Saw photos of Packard Super 8 and Twelve convertibles in a big city showroom from the same year as this car shod in blackwalls, adorned with the base baled feather hood ornament. The finer the design, the less it needs.

100% agree with that observation. With the exception of the quirky decklid, the car has perfect form. The windshield and top are especially nice.
