This post war, oversized family sedan is an unrestored example of
Packard's roomy, long wheel base, luxury vehicle. It was powered by
a 327cid inline 8cylinder engine, turning out 145 horsepower. This
particular car has the traditional but dependable 3spd manual
transmission. The car weighs in at 4590 lbs. and cruised the 40s
and 50s highways in smooth comfort attributed to its bruiser weight
and front coil spring independent suspension with
mechanical/hydraulic shock absorbers and rear leaf springs with
replaceable cylindrical shock absorbers. In total this series of
long wheel based Packards numbered only 865 units and of those
surviving unrestored you won't find a better example. Due to it's
unrestored condition you will have issues to resolve initially but
this is not one of those projects that come in a basket that never
gets done. If you are showing, cruising or just collecting, this
car leaves nothing to be desired. The solid condition shown by lack
of rust and very few parts needed for restoration of this vehicle
and its lower than market price, for a vehicle in this condition,
makes it a perfect choice for getting into the classic car market
either as an investment opportunity or as a weekend or daily
driver. If you've wanted a beautiful classic and stylish car for an
easy project with all the glamor and luxury comfort of its day and
at an affordable price this is the one! Don't wait. Mileage stated
