The prefix "X" is the usual prefix for a 1937 120 Eight Cylinder engine numbers. X133718 is within the range of X100001 to X150267 for 1937.

58L-Y8 Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Thaniks Mal, I checked the reference in The Standard Catalog of Independents edited by Kowalke, list motor number ranges as 395500 to 449999. I'd better check other sources to see if they agree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebowski Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 They're great cars. I bought one several years ago which was also in Mass. and had it shipped here. I had it painted the same bronze color and eventually traded it straight across for a newly restored '30 Model A with a rumble seat.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the first number you quote is "close" to the first number in the table for Super Eights(320ci). Kimes book has same numbers for the 120 and the Super Eight.

58L-Y8 Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Hi Mal I should have referenced the PackardInfo chart, its the one that's most likely correct. The ranges from the Standard Catalog look like those given in a Chiltons or some general reference, not what Packard issued. Lesson: Always check two sources before typing... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff_a Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) I've never seen that body style. It looks like a 2-door sedan that a salesman could save $100 on by Packard deleting the back seat. I see an ashtray and what may be an armrest in photo #6...also the outline of what may have been a seat back in the old days... The fact that it runs and some new tires are in one picture are pluses. One of my two favorite Packard models. Edited October 16, 2020 by jeff_a (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
