For Sale: 1940 Packard 160 in Solon, Ohio

Vehicle Description

More Photos & Information available at VintageMotorCarsUSA.com This 1940 Packard Series 160 Club Sedan is a true standoutelegant, storied, and masterfully restored. Finished in a rich Laguna Maroon over a classic tan broadcloth interior, this Packard exudes prewar luxury and presence. It's not just a beautiful carit's a meticulously documented piece of automotive history. This example comes from a large private collection and was formerly owned and restored by renowned Packard enthusiast George Halings. He originally purchased the car in 1968 while still in college, then began a multi-decade body-off restoration in 1980 that would span over 25 years. Every detail received careful attention: the body was stripped, primed, and finished in 20 coats of hand-applied nitrocellulose lacquer, while the frame was sandblasted and powder-coated. The original 356ci straight-eight engine was completely rebuilt, ensuring performance to match its visual appeal. The result of this dedication speaks for itself. The car earned First Place at the 2007 Packard National Meet in South Bend, First in Class at the 2009 Ohio Concourse, and First in Class at the 2011 Arthritis Foundation Show in Columbus. It remained in Halings' care until 2021, when it was acquired by its current collector-owner. This Packard is more than restoredit's revered. A rare opportunity to own a concours-winning Club Sedan with known provenance and craftsmanship rarely matched.
