Vehicle Description
This 1937 Packard Six Touring Sedan is quite an interesting piece
of pre-war motoring history, and it's presented in a truly vintage
style. And because this one is coming off of two-decades of great
care (including $$$$ in maintenance receipts,) it makes for a great
way to enjoy the full classic motoring experience.
Packards of this era instantly commanded respect with the bright
and tall grille. They are a first-class design with body lines that
are artfully allowed to develop. Just look at the crease that
begins with a point on the hood and runs until it gently fades away
at the rear - that's pure rolling sculpture. And the white
pinstripe laid within this coordinates with the whitewall tires for
that delicate hint of elegance. This has all the beautiful details
that you'll love, like the torpedo-like headlights, bright chrome
bumpers, correct two-piece wheel covers, and the Goddess of Speed
leading the way. The green paint is a lacquer finish with plenty of
aged-in maturity. That's good news to many classic fans, because
there's just something fun about a vintage finish where plenty of
people will just assume its original. Plus, 1937 was the launch of
the Packard Six era with this 115C model. It's an interesting
history where this was the one to help make Packards more
affordable, and yet, there wasn't a Ford or Chevy that could even
come near it in price or opulence. It's why Packard set an all-time
sales high for 1937, and at the same time, they built so few that
you'll likely be the only one who gets to tell the story at the car
show today.
Suicide doors are always a dignified look on these pre-war sedans.
As you look inside, the interior has a full classic style, but it's
in a far fresher presentation that tells you there has been the
right care here. You feel it in the soft tweed of the two rows of
plush seating, matching door panels, and well-done carpeting. A
sedan like this offers big room for everyone, and if your family
and friends are true vintage car fans, they'll love going for a
ride. The age of the wood trim, the classic gauges, and big
steering wheel with proper Packard center cap are all part of a
full package that feels like it was frozen in time.
As the Packard Six name suggests, 1937 was the debut of an
inline-six motor. Packard's "Ask the man who owns one" motto still
applies here, because you'll give a terrific endorsement of the
smooth nature of this motor. We have a detailed receipt file of
thousands $$$$ invested in keeping this a strong runner. The
servicing includes, new belts, cleaned radiator, cleaned/serviced
brake system, new battery, tune-up (spark plug, ignition, wire
cleaning, etc.,) resealed water pump, and replaced thermostat. The
odometer was even serviced to ensure that it keeps working
correctly, because there is a history to show that the low odometer
is believed to reflect the car's full actual mileage. It runs like
a true classic driver, and the three-speed manual transmission
gives you firm control. So it's easy to experience the unique
luxury ride that a premium Packard offers.
Not only does the sale come with receipts, but also the owner's
manual, service manual, and title documentation. It all makes for
an exceptional classic with exceptional care. So if you love
driving your history, call today!
