1939 Packard One Twenty Navigation
The Packard Motor Car Company was fortunate to survive the Great Depression. One tactic they used which helped them survive was creating a separate junior and senior series of offerings. Junior models were medium-priced cars while the senior models were the higher-priced cars that helped Packard earn its reputation. The Model 120 placed it squarely in the mid-range eight-cylinder range.
The 120 name was changed to the Packard Eight for the 1938 and the 1941 model years. This was to bring the nomenclature in line with the Packard Six. When reintroduced in 1939, the 120 moved the shifter from the floor to the steering column. The Model 120 derives its name from the 120 horsepower, 282 cubic-inch flathead straight eight engine.
This car has been in the same family since it was new. It has just completed a restoration this year.
