1938 Packard Super Eight Sedan

1938 Packard Super Eight Sedan, Model 1603    Pictures and video should clearly tell the story and condition of the car.  It does run and drive.  Car appears 100% complete. 

Body:  Very nice condition with no rot that I could see.  There are a few dents in the front fenders, but nothing to fret.  There is sag on each of the doors where the hinges attach.  Some wood in the doors will need work.    The trunk opens and closes fine.  The trunk rack and its hardware work as they should.   

Engine:  The Super Eight runs with 40PSI hot at idle,  The engine internals sounds great, I have run it more than an hour with no overheating issues...even the Radiator Shutters work nicely.   Car goes in and out of all gears and clutch works fine.  No brakes.  Only yard driven.  Cylinder #7 has weak compression, maybe due to a sticky or burned valve, so there is a skip.  Motor # A501967

Interior:  Interior is complete will all components in place.  Has radio, heater.  Horns work great.   Some wood in the headliner will need to be refitted.  The rest of the interior is intact will all pieces. 

All the needed supplies to restore this Packard can be found by contacting Max Merritt, Steele Rubber Products, Bill Hirsch and a few others

What an incredible opportunity to restore a CCCA Classic Packard that you don't have chase all the parts.  Clear title.
