1937 Packard Eight 120-C Sedan Additional Info:

1937 Packard Eight 120-C Sedan For consignment, a car which was restored a bit ago and still holds its luster. It is certainly still a good runner and a great looker, the 1937 Packard 120-C sedan. Enjoy the Packard styling and looks, all wrapped into a smaller more affordable car in this 120. Exterior With its tall vertical ribbed shined chrome grille, bullet style headlights, circular turn signal housings, and single wide bar chrome bumper with guards along with the goddess of speed hood ornament/radiator cap leads the way on this large and expensive looking automobile. All surfaces are bathed in deep black paint. Chrome trimmings are all in excellent preserved shiny condition. A long side body matching vented trimmed hood makes its way back to 4 nicely aligned doors with a common latch pillar that float above the running boards which are attached by front and rear bulbous and curved fenders. In keeping with the lines, all the windows are rounded and this sweeping design carries over to the humpback trunk which has a wonderful rounded crescent rear glass just above. Small protruding conical tail lights are on either side and just below another wide curved bumper with a Packard badge in the center. Wide whites wrap black painted steel wheels that have Packard badged dish center covers and accenting trim rings appearing on all 4 corners. Interior A swing of the doors and all are covered nicely with a smooth mohair which mixes with a carpeted lower section which is charcoal gray. Shiny handles and cranks are mounted on these panels and all presenting in a like new format. Inside, a big front bench in more tan mohair with some tufts and buttons sit within a mohair covered tub. In back another bench matching the front however this one offers up curved overstuffed armrests and plenty of rear legroom for the rear passengers to stretch out. All present in good condition and seat belts have been installed. All seating floats in a sea of charcoal gray carpeting and is capped with a tan mohair headliner, nice and tightly preserved. Up front the original dash in all its art deco styling and brown painted metal splendor with embossed circular bezels framing the original black faced instruments. In the center are several chromed knobs, some rectangular gauges, and buttons along with the ignition switch and ash receptacle. In front of the passenger is a round clock sitting within the glovebox door. A heater box is noted below the dash, and the original steering column and large wheel is fronting the wonderful dash. Just below the dash are 2 aftermarket gauges to replace the dash ones that are non functional. Drivetrain Pulling upward on either side cowling reveals the patina green painted 282ci inline 8-cylinder engine. A 2-barrel side draft carburetor is attached, and a 3-speed manual transmission is on the back sending power to a 4.09 geared rear axle. This is not the original engine but is period correct and was rebuilt in 2002. Looking nice and original with some patina and surface rust under the long hood. Undercarriage A big solid X frame holds all the upper body and undercarriage working to it, and all is looking very structurally solid with a liberal coating of surface rust. Independent coil sprung front suspension with drum brakes are seen, and on back leaf springs with more drum brakes are strapped on. Drive-Ability This quasi luxury car, (although just like its larger kin, is beautifully appointed just not as large!), started right up and accelerated, stopped, and handled nicely as a 1930's Packard sedan should. The radio did not play, the heater blower did not blow and the gas and temperature gauges were also not working. I still drew tons of stares and thumbs up making me feel like a movie star. Several years have gone by since the restoration, and it is still mechanically solid. It runs like a well-cared for car and shows no rust in the bodywork, all looking good and solid. The interior is comfortable and the car drives very smoothly, as one would expect in a Packard. Cue up Billie Holiday and Tommy Dorsey, I'm gonna step out for a night on the town. White spats and arrow collars, high hats and lots of dollars... Classic Auto Mall is a 336,000-square foot classic and special interest automobile showroom, featuring over 850 vehicles for sale with showroom space for up to 1,000 vehicles.
