car!� Leading up to World War II, Packard had a full bag of tricks
for any and all buyers in nearly every price range. The 1941 model
19th Series Packard was introduced with an entirely new design that
truly pulled a modern appeal for buyers of the era. The former
bucket headlights were now incorporated into the fenders along with
the parking lamps, rounder fenders with upscale horizontal
stainless trim accents front & rear, isolated running boards,
simplified side engine trim that incorporated the hood release,
open rear windshield without the center divider, tail lamps moved
to the body, while the fuel tank finally found a gas door to hide
the filler, plus much more when admiring the interior! Offered here
is a beautifully restored 1941 Packard One-Twenty Convertible Coupe
finished in outstanding factory correct appeal everywhere you look!
Painted factory Andes Tan & Wilshire Brown with a gorgeous Burgundy
leather and Beige cloth combination interior! Standing on a 127"
wheelbase, power comes by its original 282ci Straight 8 engine with
Stromberg downdraft carburetor producing 120 horsepower. All
transferred through a column shifted 3-speed manual transmission
with functional electromagnetic clutch & Econo-Drive�providing
overdrive gearing and comfort at higher speeds with less engine
stress! Options are abundant on this convertible and include front
& rear bumper guards, Packard AM radio with cowl-mounted antenna,
working electric dash clock, rare Trippe driving lights with
original dash switch, working Guide spotlight, accessory turn
signals, Cormorant hood emblem, passenger visor-mounted vanity
mirror, rear reverse light, dual outside mirrors, Packard De Luxe
under dash heater/defrost along with auxiliary dual stream under

rear quarter panel rock guards, full wheel�discs with Dayton
235/75R15 radial wide whitewall tires, carpeted trunk, locking gas
cap, rubber floor mats, and so much more! This stunning example
began life in sunny, southern California sold new from
Simonson-Schactmeyer Packard in Santa Monica om January 30th, 1941
and later made its way to dry Phoenix, Arizona. It remained a solid
rust free example and went through a passionate restoration in 2002
when a new Pennsylvania owner purchased it. A complete repaint in
factory colors, full engine rebuild, all new cloth-covered wiring
harnesses, new 316 tig welded stainless steel 18 gallon fuel tank,
new sending unit & pump, restored original running boards with
rubber surface, complete restoration of transmission &

visibility, all new fabric & leather interior, refinished dash, new
stainless steel battery box, all new braking system & linkage, new
wheel bearings, fully refurbished power top operation with new
convertible top, rebuilt water heater, triple plated & polished
chrome bumpers, and so much more! It is a remarkable car showcasing
little fault, minus a later driver side front fender repair that
shows a slight clear coat hazing around the headlight area. It is
very rare when a vehicle comes to market with this show ready
appearance and capable drivability! Any interested parties are
welcome to call with additional questions, or schedule a chance to
view it firsthand. If you have been looking for a pre-war Packard
Convertible, your search stops here. What a value!
