1941 Packard Series 160 Convertible Sedan is a rare and elegant
piece of American automotive history-made all the more captivating
by its connection to Hollywood legend Lucille Ball. Believed to
have been the car's second owner, Ball used it during her time
living and working in New York in the 1940s. One of only 250 built,
with approximately 30 known to survive today, this Full Classic�
offers both exclusivity and enduring prestige. Finished in Royal
Red over a tan leather interior, the car showcases timeless prewar
style and is equipped with desirable factory features including
original Packard road and fog lamps, overdrive, radio, heater, dual
rearview mirrors, sidemounts, wide whitewall tires, and front and
rear bumper guards. It was restored in 1984 by Jack Behn, a
longtime manager at Sturm, Ruger & Company in Connecticut, whose
mechanical skill and attention to detail ensured a high-quality
result. Under prior ownership, the engine received a complete
rebuild by Packard specialist Byron York in 2010. Since joining a
prominent Packard collection in 2014, the car has continued to
receive expert care, with restoration invoices totaling over
$30,000 included in the sale. With its rare body style, rich
provenance, and star-powered past, this Packard is far more than a
collector car-it's a rolling piece of American cultural and
automotive heritage.
