one would expect to see on an unrestored 80 year old motorcar. This
stunning Packard is accompanied by various receipts and invoices
that date back to the mid 1970’s which document the mileage in
addition to the some of the meticulous care that it has received
throughout its life. We are proud to offer this largely original

HISTORY OF THE PACKARD 120 TOURING SEDAN
Packard unveiled the 15th series for 1937 at the National
Automobile Show in October of 1936. To raise appeal, the company
heavily marketed the phrase “finer cars at lower prices.” A new
6-cylinder (internally classified as the 115-C) drew a lot of
praise for its innovation and level of comfort that Packard
customers were accustomed to. The Packard 120 8-cylinder models
appeared virtually the same as the 6-cylinder 115 models except the
interior, which was more lavishly appointed. With both the 6
cylinder and the 120 models drawing up so much interest, Packard
offered an incredible array of different bodies and styles to
choose from. Body style 1092, the 120 Touring Sedan, proved to be a
popular model that offered practicality, luxury, style and speed at
a modest price. Packard’s strategy paid off in 1937 with sales of
the 115-C and the 120 leading to Packard’s largest year of
production ever. Today, the Packard 120 models are praised in
collector car circles, with unrestored examples proving highly
desirable.
