Leif in Calif Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Nice looking car! $19,500 is on the high side but as they say "It only takes one buyer". it also says it's a PA which makes me think it's actually a late '31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I know that green isn't for everyone, but I sure like these two colors. I'm troubled by the quality of the paint on top of the right front fender, though, especially for this kind of money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Paint the wheels fender color and lose the whitewalls and you have a fantastic looking car. As I say often, a nice alternative to the Model A. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barry22 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I am not aware of any car manufacturer who offers green-painted cars today, although that color was previously not rare on vehicles manufactured in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today its' non metallic earth tones! Edited April 1, 2023 by Leif in Calif miss spell (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Dad had a friend when I was a kid that was a Packard collector. I remember all but the roadster were painted green and I think it was yellow with green fenders. He always said green was his favorite colour, the colour of money!

Your comment makes me think of Henry Ford's reaction to the start up of Plymouth in the late 1920's. Henry called up Walter P. Chrysler on the phone and said something like, Don't start up another low priced car brand. We and Chevrolet already have that covered. It won't work for you! 😄 Apparently the American car buying public didn't share Henry's opinion. You can see by looking at this car why early Plymouths were appealing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't allow the "T" to be updated over it's long production period and although the "A" was modern, Ford was always trailing the other makes in features. Henry was a genius in 1908, but over time he became a retched old crack pot. Makes me think of several modern CEOs.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
