My next project after the Daytona is done

[pandamarie]

I just bought this 1936 Packard yesterday, wife didnt even complain and actually like it. Paid 1200 for it including delivery to my driveway. straight flat 8 2 bbl, 3speed on the floor with overdrive (column shift didnt come out till 39. rust free car but did have a few bullet holes in it that were covered in bondo. Car has been sitting in this garage for 15 years and the owner said he drove it in there. this was one of about 20 cars they were getting rid of so they could lease the building out. It would look good with a Hemi in it, but will be keeping it all Packard since back surgery is on Oct. 8th, will try and have it running before then though.

 SCORE!    nice pick and a great price.. obviously repainted,.. what was it originally?..

[pandamarie]

Oringinal color was black,also it was a 6cyl and front end was 8 inches shorter, they streched it to accomadate the big straight 8. The guy has 2 more cars he needs to get rid of by next week. one is a 65-66 mustang coupe and the other is a 70s era VW bug, both will go as cheap as this Packard. Sorry didnt get any pics of them, to excited over this one. This is still a metal over wood frame car, the first all metal car wasnt until 38 and most luxury cars were still wood over metal until 40, I belive it was Dodge that had the first all metal car with the Airflow that was built like a tank
I will post more pics of it after I get home from taking the Grandkids to Disneyland.

Crimini! You could fit a Prius in that trunk.

[BigBlockSam]

trunk is very big on these cars. front right of trunk is a good space for the batts.

That looks like a good place for a nap at those long car shows. Just crawl in there with a portible A/C unit and shut the lid.

it's funny that you say that. when this car came from the factory it only had one seat and a trap door that lead to the trunk. it was for salesmen to get there samples to sell to the stores. i met an old man at a show he said that it was common practice for salesmen traveling all over the USA to crawl through the trap door  into the trunk and sleep . so they could save on hotel expenses. thats why they called it a businessman's coupe.
