motoringicons Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) SOLD!!!This 1936 Packard Twelve 1407 Phaeton was purchased by the current owner in about 2007. When it was purchased, it had just been removed from nearly 40 years of storage. Upon purchasing the Packard, the car was given a complete and professional frame off restoration. The restoration was completed in early 2009 and the car was shown at the Amelia Island Concours, the Meadowbrook Concours and the Glenmoor Gathering Concours where it received top awards at each event. After being shown, the car was put into climate controlled storage where it remained until this year. Since being removed from storage at the beginning of the year, the car has gone through an exhaustive and thorough mechanical and cosmetic servicing by a noted prewar restoration shop to insure that the car is not only ready to compete again in the show circuit but also to be a reliable and long distance tour car. The result is a car that not only looks amazing but drives amazing as well. The car is like new inside and out. The paint shows no signs of wear or aging. The chrome, the interior, the dashboard and other items still appear as new. The chassis and engine bay show virtually no signs of use and are extremely well detailed. Thee fit and finnish on this car is excellent throughout and the overall presentation is superb and fresh. Mechanically, the car is tour ready. It runs and drives great and is an absolute pleasure to operate. It really goes down the road nicely. Of course, the car is fitted with all of the desirable options including a later-fitted rear cowl and windshield assembly, dual side mounts with metal covers, spot light, etc. It is being sold with an extensive file folder with photo documentation of the restoration and photos of it when removed from storage. Chassis Number: 921-204, Engine Number 904717, Firewall Number 2I9I92. The asking price is xxx,000.00 and the car is located near Detroit, MI. Please call 734-730-4274 or email: motoringicons@hotmail.com to schedule a viewing or for more information.

rusty12 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 That is an absolutely great car. I remember the car very well from the Meadow Brook Concours a few years back. Stunning restoration. The price seems reasonable too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Yes, a beautiful car. That styling is timeless.I remember speaking to an older gent who wasa young man when those '37's were new. He saidthat at that time, Packard styling, with its flowing fendersand conservative upright grille, was considered far behind the times. But that's certainly not the thought today!
