1936 Packard Description
Here's a must-see, rumble-seat convertible in fabulous condition!
The 1936 Packard 120 Convertible Coupe, also known as the
"One-Twenty", was introduced during a time when all automakers
faced the challenges of selling cars during the Great Depression.
Convertibles of the era are especially rare since the general
public could barely afford even the most basic transportation
vehicles. While every bit a high-end luxury car worthy of the
Packard name, the 1936 model was a significant step in making
Packard's luxury more accessible to a wider audience. This fine
example shows meticulous care in every aspect of its painstaking
restoration. Ready to show and drive, this car is pure class and
elegance all the way.
Discerning buyers of the day knew owning a Packard identified them
as an elite class of society who demanded legendary luxury and
prestige. This is a car that still pampers the passengers with a
remarkably comfortable ride even today. The convertible body style
with a rumble seat added a practical, sporty, and supremely
fashionable element, making it the top choice for those seeking a
unique and elegant vehicle.
The Packard 120 was recognized for its smooth and pleasant driving
experience, thanks to improvements in its braking, steering, and
gearbox. The Packard 120 featured a 282-cubic-inch straight-eight
engine, which was an upgrade from the previous year's model. This
engine was capable of producing approximately 120 horsepower. The
car's interior was also noted for its high-quality materials and
craftsmanship, which contributed to its appeal as a comfortable and
luxurious ride.
