1936 Packard 120 Convertible Coupe Additional Info:

We have just added to our extensive exotic car inventory a beautiful 1936 Packard 120 Convertible Coupe in Bright Red over Red leather interior and only 334 miles since restoration. This 120 was expertly restored to look 100% stock from the top while sporting significant mechanical upgrades under the skin. Outside, the body is in superb shape with excellent panel gap and laser straight red paint. This is a large car, and the bright hue just screams classic Hollywood excess. There's a rumble seat and a luggage rack out back while dual fender mounted spares are ahead of the doors. The chrome trim is wave free and gleaming, and the wire wheels and wide whitewall tires are perfect for this car. The black cloth soft top is even trimmed in red! Inside, there's fresh red leather on the seat and door panels. Vintage looking gauges span the dash while a red and chrome banjo steering wheel look picture perfect. The long Lokar shifter makes for a convincing replica of the original manual stick, and the A/C vents on the lower dash even look era appropriate. Under the hood is some definite visual trickery--there's a small block Chevy V8 in there wearing very cool two-piece polished aluminum valve covers with fins and Packard logos. Packard didn't make a V8 until 1955, so this engine will lead to plenty of scratched heads! Atop the engine is a trio of Rochester 2-Jet carburetors on a vintage Edelbrock manifold while a Mallory distributor lights the spark. A modern CS130 alternator and Sanden A/C compressor hang from the front while an aluminum radiator and electric fan keep everything cool. Power is sent back through an overdrive 700R4 transmission. Ceramic coated headers funnel spent gasses into dual exhausts with a deep rumble. Dropping down underneath you'll see technology no Packard ever came with--there's rack and pinion steering up front with coilover shocks and a tubular control arms. The front disc brakes are light years better than the original drums, and the power assist booster makes stopping easy. The rear suspension is much closer to stock, although there's a Ford 9 inch rear in place of the original Packard piece along with modern pneumatic shocks. Prewar cars are beautiful to look at but can be anywhere from difficult to drive to flat out dangerous at modern speeds. This Packard solves that problem and looks 1936 fresh doing it.
