www.VintageMotorCarsUSA.com This striking 1941 Packard Series 160
Convertible Sedan is a rare and elegant piece of American
automotive historymade 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 carit's a rolling
piece of American cultural and automotive heritage.
