Description
Lot #115 - This handsome Packard comes out of a prestigious collection. It appears to have benefited from an older restoration, which looks absolutely stunning. It comes with lots of extra goodies, such as the original data plate (showing the car was built in Detroit on January 22, 1941), a Packard Owner's Manual, original Owner's Service Card, Packard Service Manual and Packard parts list. Finished in a creamy shade of gray, the car is in wonderful condition throughout. The paint is in beautiful condition overall. The body has been accented by a small blue pinstripe around the exterior of the car and the fenders have been outlined as well, giving just a tiny touch of contrast to the paint. The body is stunning and has custom-fabricated side skirts, running boards and rarely seen sun visor. The dual side-mounted spares really set this car apart and look stately. Both front and rear bumpers are in very good condition and appear to be original for the car. The grilles on the front of the hood show some very minor pitting due to age, but still show very well. The rest of the stainless trim looks very good and shows no damage. Inside, the interior has been reupholstered in the correct color and material and looks very good. Both the front and rear bench seats are beautifully upholstered. The carpet, door panels and kick panels are all in great condition with only very minimal wear. The dashboard is finished in a faux wood panel and houses a set of original, period-correct gauges that look absolutely smashing. This is truly an incredible mid-WWII timepiece. Under the hood, the big inline 8-cylinder runs extremely smooth. The engine compartment is clean and nicely detailed. The Packard sits upon a set of solid chrome Kelsey-Hayes wheels wrapped in expensive Diamond Back radial wide whitewalls that look absolutely stunning.
