The loss of the Packard brand in the late 1950's marked a change in
the automotive industry and was a devastating hit to high-end
American luxury car making. Only the good die young, and Packard
was the best of the best. This rare 1954 Standard 8 400 convertible
is an excellent example of Packard's prowess in the luxury car
market, and is 1 of a mere 863 ever built. The 400 trim level was
the highest you could have, and it shows in this stunning
individual. Under the hood is the powerful 359C.I. straight-8
engine making a stunning 212hp and 330lb-ft of torque, extremely
impressive numbers for it's day. That powerplant is mated to a
Packard Ultramatic automatic transmission that provides smooth and
effortless power delivery. It's smooth flowing lines with short
fins was a charming mix of classic and modern styling for it's day,
that assured you Packard was the best of old and new. The design is
wonderfully different compared to more common cars of the 50's that
you may see. It's certain to get plenty of attention on that road
and questions about what this gorgeous machine is. The exterior is
finished in Packard Ivory with plenty of glitzy chromework
including the captivating swan hood ornament and the superb Packard
wire wheels wrapped in wide whitewall tires. The interior is
covered in rich red and black leather with plush red carpeting.
Other features include power steering and power brakes, as well as
a power convertible top which is in great condition and operates
smoothly. This impeccable Packard is ready to be yours! Please feel
