Jeff Perkins / Mn Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I have looked at this car at a couple of car shows over the years, very nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchan Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Sharp. A Packard six is a great car. Owner sounds a little cranky; does "no BS" offers mean "firm" asking price? Not that the asking price is out of line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercub Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 He just doesnt want to trade it for a 1974 Winnebago and two donkeys. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryankazmer Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Later hood ornament (39-42 I think) but that's being picky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercub Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 $19.5 isn't out of the question for this beast. I kind of like the Packard coupes of this vintage as my favorite Packards but they are way above my pay grade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 If I recall right, Minnesota Collector license plates started at 600 000. So this one is a long time resident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Mack_CT Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) Not surprised. As noted above, looks like a nice 39 hood ornament, I have seen decent ones go $250 up. Lose the trippes and replace the hood ornament with a cap & bail and sell those parts off to offset any sorting costs. I would keep the accy. Reverse light though. These cars are best compared against other 6 cylinder mid market cars of the era, instead people often compare against sr. Packards or other big cars. Not fair. This is one of the best looking mid priced cars of 1937, imho throughout the body styles.

bryankazmer Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I agree that's a fair comparison, as it was their peer group when new. Today I think the comparison is more with the 120. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 When we had our 120 more than one big Packard guy suggested the 6 was a better engine. I cannot speak from experience though, not having owned a 110/115. I do like the earlier cars like this one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryankazmer Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I've heard that too but don't have head-to-head experience. The extra length in the 120 hood is nice though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Yes, but much more noticeable to my eye on 38 -40 & 41 -42 jrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhend50 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) This is more of a question. A 1937 Packard 120 sedan is available near me. Unfortunately I can't go look at it till next week. Photos look nice, dual side mounts, very nice interior, but perhaps not an original cloth. Appears to have been restored. Has not been started in 18 months, owner died, a friend is selling it for his widow. They are asking 25000. Window moldings need to be wood grained. I am hesitant to post a link till I can check it out in person. Is price in the ballpark.

I think the price is high considering the condition, particularly if you're not sure it runs ("ran when parked" syndrome). If someone can get it to run, maybe mid-teens? What say, Packard folks?

I agree, it needs to be running to get anything close to that money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 A bit high, sidemounts are not a plus on these cars to my eye but add some if it is a club sedan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
