1937 Packard 115-C Rumble-seat Convertible

[Richard North]

This beautiful Packard  has had only one owner for the last 60 years. It has been driven just four thousand miles since its older, body-off restoration by Al Prueitt and Sons, York, PA. There were 2,918 of these Packard Convertible Coupes produced in 1937. New, it was the most expensive of the 1937 six-cylinder Packards. It was the last year convertibles carried a rumble seat.  As of 2018 only 32 of these cars remain registered with the Packard club. 

 

This car runs smoothly with its Packard six cylinder engine. It has a 

floor-mounted three speed manual transmission, synchronized second and third; a six cylinder in-line L-head; 4 main bearings, 237 cubic inches 100 brake HP. It has an aftermarket electric fuel pump to help on cold starts. In 1937 Packard incorporated a modern all-steel body, independent front suspension and hydraulic brakes.

 

The body and paint are in excellent condition. There is no rust whatsoever. This car has a beautifully restored faux wood-grained dash. All the chrome is in excellent shape. The exterior color is Packard Cream with red pin-striping. It has a back vinyl interior correspondent with the black top, and a Goddess of Speed hood ornament. It has good wide whitewall tires with chrome trim rings. The gas gauge is the only thing not working. $65,000. Serious inquiries only. Located in Santa Fe, New Mexico. rlnorth@newmexico.com (505)303-8595

That'd be an awesome car to get, outside of the yellow. Maybe it's because it's in Santa Fe, but I sense if it was here it'd be really bright.

What a "Drop Dead" gorgeous car

Might help the sale if you posted more than 2 photos.

My dentist, in the early '50's, had one like this in tan, rumble seat and all. It was his daily driver and it sat day after day, all day long between the back door of his office and the railroad track. Could have been yellow once, but the exposure didn't do it much good.

It’s interesting that Packard made their junior line more attractive than their senior line. These are very cool. But the six cylinder will always be a discount over the 120.
