Dig that crazy upholstery!

Very nice car for Model A money! You don't get the Ford's wonderful club network and parts support, but this car has some great features, including a seven main bearing engine, full pressure oiling (with a filter!) and 4 wheel hydraulic brakes.

Yes! In my project management days, I once had some materials near the Oregon border that needed to be shipped ASAP via air freight to avoid a big financial penalty. Try as we might, there was simply no way from that neck of the woods to an airport in a reasonable amount of time.

GM's 2 speed automatic (Powerglide, nick named Powerslide) was a favorite of the drag crowd and in use into the 1970's. The attraction was the high stall speed of the torque converter. I wonder if Packard's could be made more responsive with a different converter.....(no doubt way more trouble than it's worth)

I will not return emails . phone calls only. title is on non-op. Engine does run but has a fuel flow problem. Put gas in carb and it runs till gas is gone.

Is that big steel plate on the frame normal? Looks like the high school medal shop class did it in the first week of school.

Delusional price ($40K!) and terrible photos...it seems like it's probably a very nice car. Will the buyer actually take "reasonable" offers? (more bad pics in ad) https://monterey.craigslist.org/cto/d/little-river-1937-chevy-business-coupe/7730958089.html All original 1937 Chevrolet Business Coupe with just 41,000 original miles.

Never modified except blinkers added for safety. Comes with lots of extras: re-pop skirts with correct trim, recast banjo wheel, extra fog lights, parking break with optional pull handle, spare fuel filters and original dealer repair manual, waterfall dash trim, clock, radio and CA 1937 YOM plates included.

Come see it, REASONABLE offers considered, no help needed to sell. email: d216f28065b23470937bb8b4161c1fb5@sale.craigslist.org

One thing that hasn't been mentioned: FOOD! New Mexican food is not Mexican food. New Mexico is pretty unique in that many families have been there for hundreds of years. A few years ago I met a young man there who's family came from Spain during the Inquisition (they are Jewish). Different spices and different dishes. Last year we took a cooking class where they talked about the "terroir" of peppers! (look it up...hard to explain.) Santa Fe was founded approximately the same time in the 1600s as James Town and the other places we normally think of as the beginning of our country. Because New Mexico has remained largely rural and poor, the culture and cuisine has remained mostly intact. Good Eating!

This car seems familiar...I wonder if it was posted here some time ago. (I searched but did not find it)

Certainly possible. I used to work for the glass company formerly known as LOF (Libby-Owens-Ford). We made a self cleaning glass, which shed certain types of dirt. Typical application was unban glass canopies. It did need rain to work however, and the chemistry was activated by carbon, so it was great on the soot from diesel exhaust, but didn't work at all on the slat spray from the ocean, or dust from a field.

I'm curious about this running engine! (perhaps when it was parked in 1956?) https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/d/hollister-1929-studebaker-commander/7730488166.html 1929 Commander Straight 8, needs TLC Needs a LOT of TLC. L.O.L! Great project or parts car. I have had engine running but comes with no carb or dist. This car needs a full restoration or a parts car. $ 2,850 B/O. Henry 831-two-four-five-9640 Call or Text

Seriously bad photos! Is the truck lid chrome?

No! Although a period correct one could be made from a discarded herring tin.

Could be that the "OBO" would get you close to that.....

Yes, and it's a very competitive category!
