Guest Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I am going to look at a '37 120 sedan and just looking for any tips or items I should be aware of beforehand. After some deliberation here, I have ruled out 1938 due to some inherent block imperfections. Appreciate any input. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packick Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Greg: I have owned 3 1937 120s; I currently have one. They are great driving cars and easy to maintain. Mechanical parts are no problem. For some parts (spark plugs, points, etc.) I just go to my local auto parts dealer. Bearings, the same thing. What you will have trouble finding are body parts. They appear on eBay now and then, but body parts such as the hood vents are almost impossible to find. So if the car you are going to look at is missing body parts, consider how hard they are to find. My '37 120's seem to like to cruise at around 60 mph. They will go faster but that seems to be the “sweet spot.” The only drawback about a 1937 120 is that they don't have overdrive. That didn't come out until 1939. Other than that, no complaints. Good luck on your search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
