1941 Packard Super Eight 160 five passenger sedan that has a long
history of being a tour veteran. The present owner has 65 cars in
his collection and since about 2009 has enjoyed driving this
Packard on several CCCA CARavans throughout the US. It has been a
terrifically dependable tourer as well as being finished in a
stunning color combination. This Packard was sold new in Denver on
April 12, 1941. For many years it was part of the Tom Mix
collection in Massachusetts. Mr. Mix had Mercedes dealerships and
was a very significant collector of Packards. In his collection was
a Darrin Victoria, a 734 Phaeton and a number of other stunning
Packards. He had his own restoration facilities and his team set
out on a restoration of this 160 Sedan. They completed the car in a
beautiful combination of metallic blue and a champagne silver. The
chrome is excellent throughout the car and includes the optional
front grill guard and the rear trunk guard. The interior is also
stunning in a tan and blue wool broadcloth. The woodgrain is
gorgeous throughout, in a grey burl that is a perfect compliment to
the wool interior. The Super Eights all came with Packards
venerable nine main bearing straight eight with 356 cu in and an
optional three speed overdrive transmission. The overdrive is a
touring necessity and makes the car easily cruise along at modern
highway speeds (70-75 mph). And the braking is more than ample to
give a strong sense of control and confidence, even at the higher
speeds. This Packard has been upgraded to the wide white wall
radial tires which are far safer and increase the handling
substantially. With dual side mounted spares, the trunk is left
wide open for a weeks worth of luggage, and then some!! The heater
and defroster and radio are all options making the interior more
comfortable for the tours. For more information and details, please
