A Rolling Piece of American History
This 1942 Packard Eight Convertible Coupe marks the end of an era-the final Packard built before WWII production halted in December 1941. With only 972 units produced, very few remain today, especially in this concours-level restored condition. From its Goddess of Speed mascot to its art deco dash and factory Bermuda bell, this is a rare, investment-grade Packard that belongs in a world-class collection.

Show it, drive it, preserve it-this Packard is a once-in-a-generation find.
