Vehicle Description
This post war, oversized family sedan is an unrestored example of Packard's roomy, long wheel base, luxury vehicle. It was powered by a 327cid inline 8cylinder engine, turning out 145 horsepower. This particular car has the traditional but dependable 3spd manual transmission. The car weighs in at 4590 lbs. and cruised the 40s and 50s highways in smooth comfort attributed to its bruiser weight and front coil spring independent suspension with mechanical/hydraulic shock absorbers and rear leaf springs with replaceable cylindrical shock absorbers. In total this series of long wheel based Packards numbered only 865 units and of those surviving unrestored you won't find a better example. Due to it's unrestored condition you will have issues to resolve initially but this is not one of those projects that come in a basket that never gets done. If you are showing, cruising or just collecting, this car leaves nothing to be desired. The solid condition shown by lack of rust and very few parts needed for restoration of this vehicle and its lower than market price, for a vehicle in this condition, makes it a perfect choice for getting into the classic car market either as an investment opportunity or as a weekend or daily driver. If you've wanted a beautiful classic and stylish car for an easy project with all the glamor and luxury comfort of its day and at an affordable price this is the one! Don't wait.
