1937 Packard 120
« on: January 20 2007, 10:59:09 PM »
This is one of the more unusual cahs that I work on. Right now
I have the nose off of it so I could remove the radiator. I got it
running after it had been sitting for years. These pics were taken with the dying digital camera. I don't know exactly why, but I found the hood
ornament on this car to be really fascinating.

Just amazing.  Are you helping in restoring it?  That thing must be a "Boat" to drive.

The owner has like 4 or 5 different Packards. He bought this one
to make a "driver" out of. 6 volt electrical system still works too.

I've always liked Packards. Just because they don't make them anymore. The hood ornament is badass.

I bet it is heavy also, not some little plastic thing glued on the car.

That is what I figured, drop it on your foot, and you will have a broken piggy or close to it.
