When it's time for true distinction, this 1938 Packard Sedan is
exactly what you want. After all, it has a custom interior, big
500ci V8, overdrive transmission, and upgraded suspension all
wrapped around a sleek version of seldom-seen sedan.
There was no better way to say premium in the 1930s than with a
Packard, and so that's the perfect place to start with a custom
street machine. It retains all the best upper-class pieces like the
tall waterfall grille, and the bright chrome bumper that dips so
you can see it better. And it's hard to have something better
leading the way than Packard's large goddess hood ornament. Mixed
with this classic style is a slick burgundy paint that takes
advantage of modern clearcoat to really highlight the classic
sheetmetal. This is furthered by a silver stripe package that
starts at the hood and runs all the way down the body to showcase
how straight this classic remains today. Plus, you'll love all the
details, like the sport mirrors, shaved door handles, side-opening
trunk, and the custom fenders that nicely tuck the 15-inch alloy
wheels.
Pop the remote door openers to reveal a full custom interior. The
exterior burgundy continues, and now it's joined for a nicely
coordinated mauve. In total, it delivers a full custom package that
looks like your favorite wines. This was built for true comfort up
front with plush bucket seats, power adjustments, an armrest center
console, and even cup holders. And you'll love showing off the
rear, too, where suicide doors lead to seating that's just as
custom as the front. This has all the right luxuries, such as power
windows, air conditioning, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo with CD
changer. But more than just comfortable, this is a true driver's
machine. You know that the moment you slip behind the Lecarra
steering wheel and gaze at the full digital gauge package.
The engine bay was built to be a bold standout. After all, not only
was the firewall painted a distinct blue, but also the intake and
the Cadillac script on the bright valve covers. And that Caddy name
also is a big hint to all of us that this has a big daddy V8. The
500 cubic-inch motor was famous for being the largest Cadillac
powerhouse around, and it was perfect to deliver huge power and
torque to the now-classic Caddys. This premium powerplant in this
premium Packard only gets better with upgrades like Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor, MSD ignition, and rumbling glasspack-style
dual exhaust. So this is a true street machine. And because of
that, it also has terrific upgrades like the updated independent
front suspension, four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive,
and superior stopping power of four-wheel disc brakes.
Smooth, powerful, and absolutely unique - this is the excellent
custom that's easy to drive and will turn heads everywhere. So if
you want to stand out in all best ways, call today!
