Vehicle Description
This 1940 Packard One Sixty Business Coupe is 1 of just 88
produced! It's a Senior Packard with a Super Eight engine yet
Packard elected to offer it in a lowly business coupe body and only
88 customers signed up for one. Most automobile makes offered a
business coupe for the travelling salesman at an affordable price
on their most basic model. The back seat is eliminated to allow
space for product. I think it's safe to say that the salesman who
ordered a Packard One Sixty business coupe was at the top of his
game! This particular Packard sold new in San Francisco and
remained in California until 2011 when it joined the Gene Cohen
collection in Sarasota Florida. It was restored years ago while in
California and still shows very nice. The Super Eight motor is
teamed to three speed manual transmission with overdrive.
