they r all jelly beans now

The first automatic transmission offered by Packard was the "Ultramatic" in 1949.

They were awesome. I hadn’t seen one until recently. Put disc brakes all the way around and they would have a winner today with this design. A beauty

Imagine if Studebaker Packard had this motor to supercharge in 1957! Wow

it's a 352 Packard with duel quads, What's so small about it ? I believe that the Motor needed Heavy Duty Springs to support the weight of it , the stock one's didn't cut it ?

USSR nor only copied the Packard design. Some of the tooling from the Packard plant ended up there too. Before the revolution, the Tsar owned a Packard that was outfitted with tank-like tracs on the back and skis on the front.

I saw your comment on the other video, and was hoping you were mistaken. But it looks like you are correct. Wow! I can't imagine how angry this would make a buyer to find all of this out when it's too late! Do you know how much of a difference in value between what it's claimed to be vs what it actually is? I'm very curious, to know what the degree of temptation is for one to be dishonest. Oh course there should be none, and I do not roll as such. If there's one thing that I despise it's a thief! Then putting liars at an infinitely close second place. Thank you for making me much more wary to the risks of getting ripped off, because I'm actually shopping for one of these cars. I'm hoping to find a nice clean, stock 36/40 black, blue, or green 120 sedan, and will be much more careful from now on. Thanks again!

Doesn't the model number coincide with the wheel base? (Please advise if you would be so kind.) If so, a tape measure could possibly end the controversy. That and if it has a matching eight cylinder engine. I don't think the 120s had any eights in them. They all had sixes. I don't know what this as advertised should go for compared to what you suspect it may actually be, but from here it's hard to deny what a great car this is. At least great looking. And a low line wouldn't have all of those options from the factory, like the spares, spots, top, and enough chrome to make a dozen cheese ball Harleys. But I suppose all of that could be fudged by a slick body man, which the previous owner apparently was so. . . I just hope you're mistaken because he seems like a good guy, and the fact that he managed to acquire it from his departed freind instead of a cold hearted bank getting it makes for a much better end to this story. I know one thing for sure, is that I would love to own it!😏

Actually the reason is you're on the "drive by" video. There are two more videos showing those areas, and 200 images via the link in the description. This is a long wheel base car with the 8 cylinder engine despite your conclusion from false reasoning. Here's the link provided right in the description to more information.

***** yes those are the right hubcaps. My Aunts friend had a 63 Cad Convertible, got, it new, but it didn't have Air either, but the car was bought new in the SF bay area and didn't need it there, when she moved to Northern California with our hot summers, she added a 71 Coupe DeVille with air and laughed she had one for hot days and one for cool days, she sold the Convertible in the 80's and got more for it then than she paid for it new

+George Keyser I believe this is the real deal as most coupe conversions 1) don't have a real top due to requiring extra reinforcement pieces welded inside the body, the floor and even the chassis, 2) most have a small section of the roof left to reinforce the windshield frame as the coupe frame is not strong enough to hold a standalone windshield in place. The chrome trim is also the correct Series 62 and also has the correct interior which are different from the Series 62 coupes. So true conversions are very costly and time consuming.... I have seen some people that did the complete conversion but those were very costly and time consuming so most conversions are simply a roof cut off, no functioning top and incorrect interior.

***** Hi George, great to hear you also owned some before, these cars are a true creation of art from a time when car manufacturers placed a lot of emphasis on styling. I too own two of them right now, a Series 62 Sedan and a real Series 62 convertible that I am restoring. Yes true conversions are very difficult because even the chassis has extra pieces welded on them for better support so most people just simply cut the tops off. These cars are however very easy to recognize. I too have seen a coupe of true conversions done so really only the VIN would tell if it's an 'F', or a converted 'J' or 'G' model. Would love to see a picture of all 15 of your Cads lined up! :)
