Lot #98 - Voted "the world's finest automobile" in 1952 this 1952 Packard Patrician 400 was purchased off the showroom floor in New York for Howard Hughes of Hughes Aircraft. Beautifully restored, this matching-numbers Packard is powered by a rebuilt powertrain consisting of an 8-cylinder engine mated to an automatic transmission. The restoration paid great attention to detail, as even the period AM radio and power antenna operate correctly.
