This is a premium example of rolling art. This frame off restored
Packard has an interesting story. Born a 640 pheaton that was
rebodied by LeBaron custom coach builders in 1932 to earn Packards
business. It would later become an incredible barn find. In 1981
this car was rediscovered in a Port Orchard WA woodshed. The car
was given a 12 year, complete body off frame restoration. Recently
it was refreshed including new glass finish midnight blue paint and
matching leather.
EXTERIOR: It was recently completely taken apart and professionally
restored. Painted gorgeous midnight blue. The body is pristine, I
don't see any signs of damage, cracking or blisters. The doors fit
and close beautifully. The paint is polished out like glass, even
the door jambs are painted smooth and glossy. The fenders are one
of a kind handcrafted from meta. Every piece of exterior chrome was
sent out and professionally restored. It has a very sporty chrome
framed V windshield with wing windows. It also has cowl lights and
Trippe lights upfront. There are five matching chrome wire wheels
and white wall tires. The running boards are restored. The
convertible top was replaced, it's a tan Haartz cloth top with blue
leather edges. The framework is restored with new wood and
chrome.
INTERIOR: Inside the car is restored meticulously. Down on the
floor is soft wool carpet with leather bound edges. All new blue
leather upholstery professionally installed. It has pockets on the
doors. The dash area has been completely restored- the gauges have
been refinished, the bezels are rechromed. The steering wheel is
restored like brand new.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It has an original straight eight motor that
looks to be all restored properly. The chrome hardware sparkles,
the manifold has new porcelain, the correct cloth plug wires were
used. It runs smooth. The compartment is show quality.
UNDERSIDE: This was body off the frame restored. The entire bottom
of this car is clean and fresh. All the suspension components front
and back we're restored. The chassis has all been cleaned and
painted a smooth satin black finish. The bottom of the motor and
the 3-speed transmission look fresh. Clean floors are smooth metal.
Gas tank is painted gloss black.
This has been my family business since 1960, when I was a kid this
is the type of car we were selling. I can tell you there is a lot
more that goes into restoring one of these classics compared to a
69 Camaro or a 65 Mustang. We have recently sold several Camaros
for well over $100,000. Now do you see the value in this true
classic? It would command respect and praise wether parked in your
collection or out for a drive. Onlookers will feel privileged just
to see it. If you would still rather have a Camaro, I've got plenty
of those. If you want this Packard, right now is your only
chance!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
**These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a
particular car make an appointment with a salesman to see that car.
Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded and you
will be given a 1 year membership.
