The Packard Six was a series of automobiles built between 1913 and 1947. In 1937, the Series Six Model 115 was introduced with a 237 cubic inch  L-head engine to compete against Oldsmobile and DeSoto in a similar size, equipment, and price range. This 1937 edition has been in the same family for 50 years, kept indoors where it has been patiently awaiting restoration. The family has decided it’s time for the car to move on and it will come with a plethora of spare parts. Located in Cullman, Alabama, this old warhorse is available here on craigslist for $6,500 OBO. Thanks for the cool tip, T.J.!

Automobile branding in the early part of the 20^th Century could be a bit confusing at times, and Packard was no exception. The name “Six” was originally used to describe the car in general terms, not necessarily the motor, while series numbers were employed and changed every year to denote wheelbases. Then the number classification changed along with market conditions to keep competitive with other luxury brands. In the case of the Packard Six, three generations used a six-cylinder engine before World War II, with varying engine displacements and periodic mechanical updates.

If this Packard could talk, it could probably tell some interesting stories. Even though it’s been in the same family for five decades, that leaves another 35 years unaccounted for. The mileage is said to be 55,000, so it surely must have been in running order sometime in the latter part of the last century. We’re told that it’s in “barn find” condition, which translates to a non-running project that awaits someone new to bring it back to life.

In addition to a trunk full of parts, there seem to be a lot of others scattered about that will go with the deal. Such as a radiator, extra fenders, headlight pieces, and a trunk and trunk rack. We assume everything that is needed to put the old girl back together again is present. What a noble machine this would be out on the roadways, harking back to simpler times.
