Offered here is a beautifully restored 1942 Packard One-Twenty
Convertible Coupe with classic appeal everywhere you look! Painted
in the two-tone iridescent shades of Sable Brown & Carlotta Brown
with a gorgeous Brown & Beige leather combination interior! The
1940s Packard example, seen here, is riding on a 127" wheelbase
with power coming from its original 282ci Straight 8 L-Head engine
with correct Carter dual downdraft carburetor producing 125
horsepower. All is transferred through a column shifted 3-speed
manual transmission with overdrive adding comfort at higher speeds
with less engine stress. Options are abundant on this convertible
which include accessory running boards, single side-mounted spare,
Packard AM radio with cowl-mounted antenna, working electric dash
clock, Trippe driving lights with original dash switch, Cormorant
radiator mascot, turn signals, rear reverse light, dual outside
mirrors, Packard Deluxe under dash heater/defrost along with
auxiliary under seat heater, power folding convertible top,
fiberglass rear fender skirts, chrome wire spoke wheels with
255/75R15 radial wide whitewall tires, decorative exhaust turn down
tip, and carpeted trunk. This stunning example began life in sunny,
southern California and sold new from Earl C. Anthony Packard in
Los Angeles on November 28th, 1941. It remained a solid, rust free
example and went through a passionate restoration in 1996 when
Massachusetts collector and body shop owner, Frank Finney,
purchased it. He was an active member of the North Shore Old Car
Club and attended many car shows in the northeast. He conducted a
complete repaint in factory colors, all new leather interior and
floor carpeting, refinished dash, full engine rebuild, all new
cloth-covered 6-volt wiring harnesses, new sending unit & pump,
restored original running boards with rubber surface, complete
restoration of transmission & overdrive with original parts,
balanced driveshaft, stainless steel exhaust, all new tires, all
new braking system & linkage, new wheel bearings, fully refurbished
power top operation with new convertible top, rebuilt water heater,
re-plated & polished chrome bumpers, and so much more! Upon
completion, it went on to be shown in the 1999 Packard Centennial
Celebration in Warren, OH, The Castle Hill Concours D'Elegance, and
many others. It stayed in the loving care of Mr. Finney until his
passing in July 2018, and with the Finney family until February of
this year. Don't miss this rare opportunity.
