This stunning 1941 Packard One-Twenty Convertible Coupe has been
the beneficiary of a meticulous restoration. Presented in Laguna
Maroon with a new black Haartz power convertible top. This vehicle
is reported to have had only four owners and is believed to be one
of only 25 cars to have been originally ordered with the One-Eighty
trim package. Additional exterior highlights include the original
grille and new custom made running boards. The car rides on wide
whitewall radial tires with factory wheel covers.
Powering this One-Twenty is a 282-cid straight eight-cylinder
engine, which is reported to have less than 2,000-miles on it since
the restoration was completed. During its rebuild the engine was
bored .040 over and the crankshaft was ground .010 on both rod
journals and main journals. The engine is paired to a three-speed
column-shift manual transmission with overdrive and a new clutch.
With the overdrive and the addition of an auxiliary cooling fan
this Packard is capable of comfortably cruising at 70-mph.
The interior was completed by John Keppit, and is presented in Laguna Maroon with a tan dash and white steering wheel. It features an AM radio, clock, deluxe heater and the added safety of an aftermarket Yankee Turnflex turn signal system. The consignor states the gauges, deluxe heater and power convertible top are all in working order.
