kingrudy Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 If it runs and drives, why not put some film in the camera and drive it out of the barn to get some current pictures. 25K is a lot of money to spend on a car that is virtually sight unseen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I get the concern on pics but I know more than one person with nice stuff and no smartphone, or the basic pc skills to post pics. In fact, unless they are shopping cars regularly, the standards of advertising today might even be lost on them. This car, in a complete open bodystyle at this price should stand on its own to a Packard fan. Of course in a 60 year ownership "new" is relative. A top put on in the past 15, 20 years may be new to the seller, and likely pretty nice, that alone is a few grand. While it is possible someone let it go, and more. Current pics are a must for a serious buyer, the reason for the dated pics might be legit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Smolinski Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 I would want to see it if I was interested. Or have someone look for me. Average book on it is around $30K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Mack_CT Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 AJ it still seems light to me, as it is still an open prewar Packard that appears to be together, and presentable unless it was left outside since 07. These usually show up as heavy projects (Tom had one a few years back, needed everything, but it ran) or restored for maybe $20k more than this one. I like this one as it falls in the middle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Wilkie Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I've talked to the person that posted it for sale. He listed it for another person.. I've asked for more details and pictures . He said he was going to take pictures of it on a rack in order to get the under side.. I also have asked for a picture of the title.. Nothing has came back to me as of about 1 1/2 weeks.

George Cole Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 The CL ad has been deleted, so it most likely sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick60 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 As of today, 03AUG21, this car is still for sale. I talked to the seller three days after the ad was posted. He stated that he had too many calls on the car and was removing the C/L ad. He put me on a "first come, first serve" list and contacted me two says ago. He sent forty photos and two videos of the car running. It appears to be a very nice car. But it will need sorting out. Once it is back on the road you will not be ashamed to take it anywhere. I've wanted one of these cars for along time. but I'm in the middle of restoring another car in a two car garage. There 's just no room to store the Packard while I work on the project. I don't know why it hasn't sold. I don't think the condition of the car is the reason. I know I'll look back and kick myself for not buying this car. The logistics just don't work for me at this time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Decent interesting car, but price is a little strong given 110 status. I'm thinking more like 15-20k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Hmmm? Hard to say. It's a nice body style, agree price might be a touch high for a 110. Personally the car just screams "Dullsville" to me, with the dark gray paint, tan roof and black wall tires. It's just about as unexciting a combination as one could imagine for an otherwise nice car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Would be hard to ignore at AJ's suggested range if it were relatively local. I kind of like the plain radiator cap, blackwalls and lack of doo- hickeys to make it look like a big boy Packard. Different class of car of course, but more than one guy w/big Packards has told me that for what it is, the 6 in the 110 is outstanding, and generally more durable than the 282 8 in the 120. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Kingsley Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 @rick60if the only thing holding you back is storage space, it might be worth renting a space from someone so you can avoid those regrets. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
