Leif in Calif Posted August 15, 2022 Author Share Posted August 15, 2022 I thought that might be the same car too, but the one just posted has side mounts on both sides. Apparently Albuquerque is a hot bed of '41 Packard Coupes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif in Calif Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 Now reduced to $10,500 and on San Francisco Craigslist with better pictures. I don't know how hard that fender would be to fix, but this is approaching being an opportunity for someone. Make an offer? https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/7522365570.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Says 160 on the trunk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillOutThere Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Maybe a Packard expert can answer: Aren't those wheel hub accessory ribbed items (surrounding the center hub cap) actually from a 1940 Ford? Did Packard share this accessory with the lowly Ford? Not that they are unattractive, mind you; like them very much on BOTH ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryankazmer Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 The car is a 120 with 160 trim, including the trunk script. look at the dash and taillights - both are junior series Packard had inner wheel trim rings available in 1941. So did Plymouth. Not a Ford exclusive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with the mysterious box on the dr. fender could there be more to this car than meets the eye? A one off of something or other? Someone mentioned Henney trim (I dont know if it is, just what I read above) could this car have been used by a funeral home in some order?

bryankazmer Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 The trunk trim and the bumpers are Packard parts, but they bolt in the same holes whether junior or senior. The small taillights are 110/120 - they can be interchanged also, but one would upgrade rather than downgrade if switching. The ribbed dash plastic and the mostly plastic radio screen are 110/120. The hood side trim is Henney. There are no side scripts on the hood, as Packard used (the font matches the trunk). Both the Packard senior and junior trims are different from this side piece, the emblem is at the forward edge. I believe in an earlier go-round on this car someone said the engine is a 282. That's the 120 mill. There are two possibilities that I see. 1) The car is a 120 with other trim added later. This has been done before. The sidemount cover is Packard not Henney. Most of the front clip might even be off a Henney professional car as a repair. 2) The car could be a Henney-modified 120. Henney had the exclusive contract for Packard-based professional cars. Henney did mix senior and junior trim on some cars, usually by doing the easy bolt ons. I've seen a hearse done that way. If so one would expect there to be a Henney body tag. It would certainly be odd to do this to a coupe, so I think the first option is more likely. I see it as a decent 120 coupe that needs a left fender. And that's not bad. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
