1950 Packard Super Eight Deluxe
"Ask the man who owns one." - A motto coined for Packard cars from the early 1900's and stuck into the 1950's. The saying was started by the maker of these dependable and prestigious cars - with the insinuation that you should listen to the owner of the car when you have questions about it. This became a catch phrase that was synonymous with Packards and was used in their advertising across the decades.
This beautiful black Packard Deluxe sedan is being offered on consignment.
The current owners have had the car since 2004; they loved this car! During their ownership the car has had some paint work and the interior fabrics reupholstered. Regarding the interior: the original Bakelite, much of the woodgrain and metal finishes are in really good condition. The exterior trim is also in great condition, with the only notable issue found inside the grill, there is some flaking.
Mechanically speaking, the car is highly original, only having maintenance, an added electric fuel pump and required repairs. The Packard operates well and easily. The gauges appear to work (temp, fuel, voltage), though the speedometer is a little bouncy. All lights are currently working except the headlights turn themselves off shortly after being turned on - the owner acquired a new headlight switch, but has not had it installed because they 'never drove it at night' (the new switch comes with the purchase of the car).
This Packard Deluxe also comes with a custom car cover for storage.
Aside from the Arkansas Registration sticker (dated 1972) and the fact that they bought it from a gentleman in Arkansas, there is no known history on the car.
*We do have a walk-around video of the car while it is running; if you are interested we would be happy to share it with you.*
