Leif in Calif Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Here's a great project for the true optimist's! Just think: identical to "2010 Gooding Pebble Beach Car"! more pics in ad.... https://phoenix.craigslist.org/cph/cto/d/phoenix-1941-packard-120-2nd-gen-woodie/7751509449.html Here’s an opportunity to create your own very desirable Packard Woodie. PHOTO included displays the ACTUAL wood package included. Arizona Title - Always an AZ Car "Ran and Drove when Parked" This is a lifetime Arizona car. Includes all plastic castings, knobs, dash, chrome, etc. 47,000 Original Miles Packard Straight 8 “Ran When Parked” (about 20 years ago) In addition to the large sedan here, all the wood for the woodie conversion kit is INCLUDED and it is pre-fit. (Was created of another car and fitted up, then disassembled for storage. Woodie package is the same as the 2010 Gooding Pebble Beach Car email: 530a47642762304ab584b055f17e67ae@sale.craigslist.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) I owned and drove a 1941 series 120 Hercules station wagon for decades, it had its own unique seat frames and cushions , where would someone get those to fit to a recreated car.? had nothing to do with the seat frames used by any sedan.Also the metal hardware for the tailgate rear window, hinges for that, hinges for the doors , dome light . If I recall correctly ( haven't looked at it in decades) there was a separate body parts list for the station wagons ( both on the 110 and 120 chassis) that was specific to the station wagons since the body was not made by Packard.

neil morse Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Wow, you would have to be a true masochist to have any interest in this so-called "project!" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 I have building a wood bodied car on my bucket list. This looks like it would be a great DIY kit. But there obviously has been a lot that has happened to that motor since it last ran 20 years ago. AND the picture of the wood wagon in the top photo doesnt look very good to me. Maybe its just the pics. I will continue my hold out for a better wood project, LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a copy of the Hercules parts list if anyone wants it. My list is for 1940, not 1941. Edited June 2 by Shootey (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, the picture doesn't look good....at all, and I'd bet heavily that it looks a lot worse in person. I have a hard time believing that car went to Pebble Beach. I'm not sure I'd haul this thing away if it were free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They claimed the car in the picture was at an auction at Pebble during Car Week...not at the concours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
