For Sale: 1950 Packard Deluxe in Mesa, Arizona

Vehicle Description

Post-war American craftsmanship shines through on the 1950 Packard Deluxe Eight with its long, elegant body lines. Finished in Turquoise, the flowing fenders and squared-off profile display classic proportions from every angle. Chrome brightwork runs along the sides and adorns the distinctive front grille, adding brilliant contrast against the paint. The 15" painted steel wheels include center caps and beauty rings for added visual interest, while the Coker Classic G78-15 tires complete the exterior look with period-correct sizing.

Inside, the gray cloth interior offers classic American comfort with spacious bench seating. The dashboard presents a clean layout of gauges and controls that puts everything within easy reach of the driver. A column-mounted shifter controls the 3-speed manual transmission without crowding the cabin space. Door panels, headliner, and carpeting maintain the factory appearance throughout the cabin. An AM radio sits in the dash, adding to the authentic 1950s atmosphere that surrounds occupants.

A 288 cubic inch straight-eight engine sits in the bay, featuring the Carter 118-68 single 2-barrel carburetor for fuel delivery. The Borg Warner R11 3-speed manual transmission transfers power to the rear wheels. The front suspension uses independent control arms with coil springs, shocks, and a sway bar for handling, while the rear utilizes a solid axle with leaf springs. A glasspack-style muffler on the single exhaust adds just the right sound note. Drum brakes provide stopping capability for this American classic.
