For Sale at Auction: 1954 Packard Standard Eight in Scarborough, Maine

1954 Packard Convertible - 1 of 863 Built, Award Winner, Restored & Upgraded for Reliability
This 1954 Packard Convertible is one of only 863 examples produced for the model year, representing a rare and elegant piece of American automotive history. Beautifully presented and thoughtfully upgraded for modern drivability, this convertible combines show-winning presentation with enhanced usability. Power comes from its original 359ci straight-eight engine, rated at 220 horsepower, which has undergone a professional restoration by Packard marque specialists. The work included a new head gasket, fresh engine paint, and a complete fluid flush and replacement, ensuring reliability and authenticity under the hood. In a notable and practical upgrade, the car's original Ultramatic automatic transmission-often regarded as problematic-has been replaced with a smooth-shifting 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive, operated via the column ("on the tree"). This transformation significantly improves the driving experience while maintaining period-correct style. Additional features include power steering, power brakes, a power convertible top, and a power antenna-highlighting the car's luxury pedigree. The convertible sits on chrome wire wheels wrapped in Diamond Back radials, adding both elegance and confident road manners. The interior has been refreshed with new carpeting and repainted trim, complementing the classic lines and premium Packard detailing. This vehicle was purchased at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale and has earned multiple accolades on the show circuit, including Best of Show at the Old Orchard Beach Car Show. Well-sorted, visually stunning, and upgraded for enjoyment on today's roads, this 1954 Packard Convertible is a rare opportunity to own a collector-grade classic that's as pleasurable to drive as it is to display.
