Description
Lot #1443 - This is a unique Knightstown Phaeton with a fixed rigid roof and pillarless design. This rare and intriguingly ingenious hardtop-bodied Phaeton Packard 120 has had a full cosmetic restoration in black with beautiful caramel leather interior, black top, wide whitewall tires and brilliant chrome. It is an unusually long wheelbase chassis for the 120 drivetrain and is equipped with manual transmission, Tripp driving lights, Packard hubcaps, wheel trim rings, a folding rear seat, windshield and trunk. Rear wheel skirts are a bridge between the classic and postwar eras. Unique is an overworked term, but it applies perfectly to this 1937 Packard 120 Knightstown hardtop, dual-windshield Phaeton, one of the most imaginative, innovative, elegant and intriguing automobiles of the 1930s.
