For Sale at Auction: 1933 Packard 1001 in Scottsdale, Arizona

Powered by a 327ci 150hp side-valve inline 8-cylinder engine paired with a 3-speed manual transmission, this 1933 Packard 1004 Super Eight Coupe Roadster rides on a 142-inch wheelbase with solid axles, semi-elliptic leaf springs and four-wheel vacuum-assisted mechanical brakes. Chassis No. 750980 is the 98th example built and was delivered new by Packard distributor Robert B. Parker of Philadelphia on August 17, 1933. It was purchased in 1991 as a partially disassembled project and underwent a comprehensive restoration emphasizing originality and precision. The body was stripped, repaired and refinished in single-stage PPG Opal paint that transitions from white to gray depending on light, accented by red pinstriping and a red chassis. The red leather interior includes details such as fold-out rumble seat arm pads, leather upholstery on the golf bag door and wood-grained trim restored by specialist Craig Clemins. Restoration accuracy has been extended to the engine and accessories, including refinished porcelain manifolds and authentic crackle finishes on electrical components. Exterior features include chromed wire wheels with whitewall tires, Pilot-Ray fog lights, dual side-mounted spares with metal covers, Packard Twelve bumpers, solar headlamps and a "Daphne at the Well" radiator mascot. Completed in early 2008, the restoration earned an AACA First Junior at San Diego in 2008, a First Senior at Santa Rosa in 2011 and multiple concours honors, including Best of Show at the 2008 Niello Concours. It also received the 2009 Joseph Parkin Award, given to only 25 restorations annually. Having covered only 300 miles since completion, this award-winning Packard remains in exceptional condition with a recent service, including a rebuilt starter and steering box.
