Vehicle Description
Ladies and Gentlemen, Gateway Classic Cars in Kansas City is
excited to offer a unique motoring classic, a 1934 Packard Replica
from Gatsby! First published in 1925, The Great Gatsby is
considered by the American Literary Association to be among the 100
best American novels published during the last century. The novel's
setting of New York City during the "Roaring Twenties" calls to
mind images of Art Deco skyscrapers and extreme opulence in fashion
and design. This was also the high point for automotive design as
Duesenberg, Bugatti, and Rolls-Royce offered ever more luxurious
models. This lavish elegance is what Gatsby Coachworks, Ltd. sought
to recreate. Gatsby started out selling completed turn-key cars and
production peaked in the early 1980's with up to 50 turn-key cars
being completed per year. The company began offering the car as a
do-it-yourself kit starting in 1982. Our white with blue interior
and blue convertible top Gatsby is a replicated example of a 1934
Packard Convertible! Powered by a small block Ford V-8 backed by an
automatic transmission, there is plenty of power at hand when time
to move! And, when you do press on the loud pedal, you will motor
with confidence due to modern conveniences such as power steering
and power brakes! Most times, however, you will be sitting idle and
surrounded by a crowd of automotive curiosity seekers wondering
what this low, sleek, elegant automobile could possibly be? Either
way, this Gatsby signals to everyone that you have arrived! Be
ready to take selfies! To discuss this fantastic and unique
automotive experience, or many other great classics in our
