These prices are those of an individual dealer. They may or may not be the same as the Packard factory pricing.
This period picture shows a 1099, 120c with most of the exterior accessories offered that year.
My only question is with respect to the back up light. It does not appear to be a genuine Packard accessory
A happy man in a happy land!
This paperwork was included with the original radiator screen, pictures of which follow.
Most bugs would not have the guts to try this one twice.
This particular Packard accessory was a NOS product. Like many NOS products it was defective and retained in inventory. The stitching prevented the wire framework from encompassing the grill blades.
The standard exterior mirror for the convertible coupe series was a dog-leg affair mounted on the windshield pillar. While this was probably more effective, I could not bring myself to drill holes into the stanchion for this purpose.
A unique new form of back-up light was created for the Packards of this early vintage.
This series of accessories and the ones that follow seem to be an odd choice by Packard. Was this distressed merchandise?
This was Packards accessory for grill protection. My father avoided this accessory in the belief that it crushed more grills than it protected.
Pelican, cormorant, swan, whatever, to me it was always a graceful ornament of a bird.
The real animal...well almost. Installed price 12.50.
This is the proper ornament for late 37s and 38s. The second version in the godesses for mid 30s 120s. the fact is however the dealer would install what he had on hand.
Even though there were Do-nut pushers long before this ,the new lady carried its own patent rights. The installed cost of the 1936 version was $6.00.
An earlier winged goddess. This predates the 120s and the previous patent. It was even avalable in some form in the Twenties.
An old , old godess of speed. How far back did the do-nut pusher go? Thisone precedes the 120 by many,many years.
The bailed feather, the standard ornament. These were replaced so often that they were later used to make decorative lamps . They do have their own appeal however.
A cormorant-radio antenna combination. I have no idea what this rare accessory sold for new, but it recently fetched $2400.00 on E-Bay.
Trunk rack, or luggace carrier. Installed price in black...$28.20 in 1937. More if requred painting to match body color.
120 convertibles did not come with sunvisors in 35,36,or 37. This accessory was available for$3.25 each, installed.
This is the sophisticated installation sheet that came with each sunvisor.They were sold singly, not in pairs. I am sorry about the quality of the image.
The infamous,and highly sought after, Banjo steering wheel... This fits 35,36,and 37 120s. Installed price $11.95.
Here is one in use on a 37 120...In some cases the chromium hub could pit .This owner chose to paint the hub in the matching brown trim color.
Another shot of the Banjo wheel. This time in a CD model.
An updated version of the Banjo wheel introduced for thhe 1939 120
Somehow we all believe the Studebaker was the only car offering the Hill Holder feature...not so!Packard called it their No Rol. Here is a shot for the accessory for 1937-38 120s.
The ever-popular Trippe Light, or driving light...Not necessarily a Packard accessory, but often found on Packards as an adjunct to the headlights.
Chrome wheel discs.$20.00 for four, $30.00 for six,installed. Also see frames 2,3,and 4 of this series for other shots of these items.
Packard called them wheel trim rings...the trade called them beauty rings. Installed price,$1.75 each.
