Customs The official Packard owners thread!

Heres a 1929 Packard. Not mine anymore but would have been really cool and alot of work to get done. I just bought it for parts then traded for a 31 A.

 

Chopped, dropped, was small blocked... getting re-powered z-28 350tpi/700r4

What about Oz's 41' "Gable"

 

I've just joined the Packard owners club. My new 1940 120 sedan is being delivered to me this weekend, from California. It's running a FM front clip, 350 Chevy (yawn), and a 9", but the best part is that it runs and drives! Upgrades are planned as time permits, like a new interior, A/C, and maybe a repaint. The main objective is to just get some good old miles put on the beast this year.

Nice 120 Steve! How awesome would it be to put a Packard V8 in there!! I'd love to find one for my '53.

Anybody have pics of hot rodded Packard bent 8's?

 

Here are some better pictures of the Towncar.We love driving it around because it gets allot of those"What the hell is that" looks.It has a small block chevy in it with a turbo 350.

 

I just got a '53 four-door Clipper this weekend. It still has the original 327 strait 8 and 3 on the tree. With a bit of tinkerin it fired right up and moved a little. Im hopin to put a mild chop on it and drop it a little. I'll post pics just as soon as i take some.

 

Does anyone out there know what the hole in the driveshaft tunnel is for? Its right above the trans and has a metal plate covering it. Any ideas?

 

To fill the automatic trans, if you were to have one.

I've got a 41 120 Club Coupe waiting in the wings for a resto rod style build. have been ac***ulating parts for years but still need some small trim pieces (tailights, head light doors, etc).

 

Sure it counts! Are you going to build it?

 

My next door neighbor has what I think is a 37 more door...

Pretty nice car, it has been a DAILY driver for the past 10 years I have lived here.

I have NEVER seen the engine but I am all but sure it is a 350/350.

The car has been in suede all this time but it has been in the paint shop for the last few months.

I will snap a couple pics when it gets back from paint and post it on this thread.
