$6,000 asking price not bad. Assume a sale at $4,500 my guess due to the rust factor. Would make an attractive vehicle once finished. Problem is that "transportation" with a car hauler has gone up so much that unless a local buyer is in the game the cost to transport will be a high percentage of the overall cost.

SUPER IDEA!!! How about a Rolls "Rat Rod". Just rip out that costly engine and replace with a 1970's GM used motor. You could then use it as a daily driver to the local Costco. Plenty of room in the back seat for bulk toilet paper, a dozen of the $4.99 Costco famous roasted chickens, and still room for a couple of the 5 foot tall fruit trees that can stick out of the side windows to later be planted in the back yard. You could then work part-time for the company that owns "Domino's Pizza" and place their lighted sign on the roof and start delivering pizzas in style.

Pick me up at the LAX airport in this vehicle and drop me off at the local Russian spa near the airport. Did not STALIN have one of these models in the later 1930s when the USSR purchased some things from the Packard Company?

What Make? Model? pedigree? Color scheme?

I think it would outrun my golf cart.

For the money this appears a more than fair deal.

The dash appears to be a fast fix as looks like only the machined face-plate needs to be either restored or replaced with one that likely can be purchased from Oklahoma at Glen's shop.
Engine ? Assume the engine was replaced many years past? Who manufactured the engine? I also noticed the turn signals. What are the miles on the replacement engine? What was modified other than the obvious shown in the images?

Where do you park it? Most parking spaces say "Compact" here where I live in California. I do not see that many parking spaces that say "Boat"
You can't say that this vehicle is not getting attention when one drives it in public.

I have a 1933 Buick 90 series 7 passenger sedan (very rough). Chassis is original but clean and surface rust. All doors there but removed. Engine there also but bad shape.
Was used in Oklahoma before moved to Sacramento about 4 years past.
Not for sale as I was going to use it for a parts car but I would be persuaded to sell.

100% this is for a 1933 Buick

I recently read through my owner's manual for my 1934 Nash Ambassador 1200 series. I noticed that with the vehicle as new the first 250 miles the new owner is told not to exceed 30 M.P.H. The next 250 miles the owner can then drive up to 40 M.P.H. For the next 500 to 1,000 miles the owner is not to drive over 50 M.P.H.
The manufacturer also recommends to lubricate the car every 1,000 miles, change the engine oil every 1,000 miles, inflate tires every week, fill the battery with distilled water every two weeks, clean the air cleaner every 3,000 miles, clean gasoline strainer on the fuel pump every 3,000 miles, change transmission and rear axle oil every 5,000 miles, check fan belt every 3,000 miles, etc. On this car the two types of lubrication: heavy oil and light oil and what appears to be over 20 areas that would need lubrication. You have to be a mechanic or dig up a long dead processional chauffeur to be bale to take this car out for a long drive.
What are the "Recommendations of other 1930s cars during running-in period?". I am curious for these "running -in period" limits on speed for makes such as Ford, Dodge, Cord, Cadillac, Chrysler, Rolls Royce, Hupmobile, Pierce Arrow, Peerless, Buick, Marmon, Studebaker, etc? Is this recommendation for the 1934 Nash 1200 series about the same for all manufacturer's makes and models?

I bought a 1933 Buick as a parts car. Sadly, the parts car looked too nice to be a parts car and I was uncomfortable in attempting to take away any of the parts. I later purchased another parts car and sadly that vehicle looked too horrible to be used as a parts car.

Would look nice on the wall of an Old Spaghetti Factory Restaurant.

My 12 year old daughter would like this car.

A very attractive Packard. I am envious.

Young people do not appreciate "rolling art". Vehicles are now made by robots with a vehicle's parts manufactured in a two dozen countries with most parts now made of plastic. Even a new Bentley will use a chrome plated plastic shell and chrome plated plastic grill instead of metal. The craftsman of yesteryear are just not appreciated as they were years past.

What percent of these great cars survived? I recall something like 60%+, which would be remarkable for a 1936 / 1937 vehicle.

Judkins was a well known coach builder that placed black leather on the top of its vehicles. They went out of business in 1938. I used to own a couple of the Judkins 1937 Model K sedans. A very heavy magnificent car. Lots of wood and a very expensive vehicle for its time. The Nethercutt museum has a 1937 example sedan as well as a custom coupe. I think Edsel Ford used to hide the books on the Lincoln K vehicles. I read that Ford lost money on every Lincoln K that they built.
The President of BofA in the 1930s owned a 1934 Lincoln K sedan that was restored and used to be shown at the Sacramento Old Car museum (now called California Auto Museum), but that example was not a Judkins.

Those Chinese "commies" don't appear to be that keen on being "communist" while seeking profits in the old car insurance business. My experience is that the Chinese are capitalists who apparently desire a central government. It seems to work for them. Over the last 30+ years CHINA (with the majority of the population ethnically the same) has grown at leaps and bounds. What would we be without Chinese parts for our vehicles? At the same time the US has not been so lucky.
I saw GRUNDY at SEMA in Vegas for 2022 but not Hargerty. While at the GRUNDY booth in the Vegas Convention Center on 11-1-2022 the GRUNDY lady gave me some nice ink pens and an old style rubber coin case similar to what my grandfather had back in the olden days. Sadly, she would not lower my premiums that I have to pay on my old cars.

Educate me as to why some people call a Victoria Coupe and "coupe", while others assert that the correct name is 2-door sedan. I'd rather be owning a vehicle that I can call a "Victoria Coupe" than a "sedan". Moreover, as far as the high ender vehicles like the 1932 MARMON I have never seen these higher market vehicles referred to as a "sedan" while with a Ford or a Chevrolet or sometimes a Dodge, I have seen some of these cars manufactured in the years 1032 through 1938 described as a 2-door sedan. Are all 2-door sedans manufactures in the 1920s and 1930s also "Victoria Coupes"?

With inflation and labor costs to restore a vehicle like the one being sold would be significantly higher than the asking price. Magnificent car. Should sell quickly.
