Here we have a 1940 Packard 120 Club Coupe for sale. This car was
comprehensively restored for 3 years in Oregon, Sold overseas, and
then imported from England back to the U.S. Considering there were
estimated only to be 2500 of these built and just a few in the
registry this is a rare example of an All Steel quality Packard.
It's finished with an impeccable eye for detail and will make you a
car ready to show or cruise! Don't miss your chance at one of the
nicest Packard's we've ever owned. In the following paragraphs, we
will briefly describe this Packard's exterior, interior, and

We will start with the exterior of this One Twenty Club Coupe. It's
done in its iconic factory styling and is a stunning example of
what a quality restoration should look like. The body on it is rock
solid with stunning lines and an excellent fit of all the panels.
It's showcased in the French Blue Paint scheme that has been buffed
and polished a gorgeous finish that's slick as a ribbon. Up front,
we can see the grills, bumper, lights and three bar guards are all
beautiful. It even has Packard dual driving lights, original hood
ornament, and hood louvers. Down the sides are arrow straight with
excellent running boards and mats. The French Blue is accented by
the correct white pin stripping around the side glass, all of which
is beautiful and functional as it should be. Out back is equally
impressive, as it features the correct rear bumper with guards. It
also has the Packard script reverse light & gas cap along with
auxiliary turn signals. You'll even notice that all the seals and
weather stripping have been done making for one of the best rides
while you cruise. To complete the look it's sitting on the 16"
Steel Wheels painted in the Vermillion Red Wheels with the White
Pine Stripes, Packard Hub Caps, Beauty Rings, and a set of BF
Goodrich Silvertown Wide White Tires,
Next, we will look at the interior of this '40 Club Coupe. On the
inside, it's done in the factory stock style with the wool interior
from Bill Hirsch with the correct piping and stitching by Guys
Interior. This Packard is optioned with the rear bench seat which
would have come out in '41. However, it can be removed to give you
the business coupe style or to use the rear jump seats that fold
down from behind the rear panels. The door panels have contrasting
wool which is also correct for the '40 year. Of course, new door
handles, window cranks, and plastics were replaced. The floor mat
and sill plates were not replaced at the time of the restoration,
but they are in phenomenal condition. The deluxe heater and radio
options were gone through at the time of the restoration. Looking
at the dash tops of the doors we can see it has been redone with
the correct style single grain that looks amazing. It still has the
factory gauges that are all working as they should. The factory
steering wheel was sent off to be redone and the horn is working as
it should along with the turn signals. The headliner was redone and
has a phenomenal fit and finish along with the visors. Inside the
trunk is all rock solid and has been painted to match the exterior.
It does come with the spare and trunk mat to give it a neat and
clean finish.
Finally, we will get to the driveline of this Packard. Under the
hood, it's powered by the correct 282 Inline 8 Cylinder engine that
was completely gone through at the time of the restoration. The
carb was rebuilt along with the generator, regulator, fuel pump,
water pump, and even the radiator was gone through. A new harness
was installed as well and this car does have the Over Drive option.
The exhaust manifold was ceramic coated inside and out and all new
exhaust was installed as well. The 282 engine runs through the 3
Speed Manual Transmission that was redone at restoration along with
the stock rear end that was also gone through. All the suspension
has been gone through as well and makes for tight handling classic
that can be easily enjoyed. The braking system was also redone, and
this car stops true as it should. When we look under it there's no
denying the quality and effort that went into this restoration. All
the metal is rock solid and shows no signs of abuse from the floors
to the frame. The floors have been redone in French Blue and the
frame was painted in black. This truly is one of the nicest
Packard's we've ever seen and will make you a great addition to the
family!
