1935Packard Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I seem to have picked up another Packard: This time, a 1941 110 Convertible Coupe. It's sort of a little sibling for the Twelve, I suppose, in case the Twelve gets lonely in the garage. Better yet, I purchased it from a friend and active Packard Club member (and occasional reader of this board), so I know the car is in pretty good shape.

Dave Mitchell Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Good choice! You will like the 41, they are really nice cars to drive. I have a 41 convertible to go with my 35 too which I really enjoy, plus a couple other 41s besides, so I know 41s fairly well. Feel free to contact me if you need any advice or parts on the 41. Please post a photo!Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

34PackardRoadsta Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Beautiful car! Congrats. Now if you just put some black wall tires on it...Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1935Packard Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Thanks, Steve. The color is called Saratoga Beige.You can see it on the paint chip sheet downloadable from here:http://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/article/view.article.php?c16/228UPDATE: And thanks, Tom, too. Will see about the tires! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1935Packard Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 The interior is red. Here's a picture of the interior, as well as a picture with the top down. The radio is a Motorola that I gather was an aftermarket purchase but still period correct. You can see an advertisement for a similar radio (not exactly the same, but pretty similar) specifically for the 1941 Packard below.Of course, if any board readers are whizzes on the 1941 and can tell me more based on what they are seeing, that would be great.

Guest bkazmer Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I believe you're correct on the radio. The factory one is Philco, "Packard" is on the faceplate, and the pushbuttons each have a tuning wheel in them (you can see more at Jerry's Yesterday's Radio site). The main knobs on this one copy the factory look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozstatman Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Good looking '41 - very nice. Even liked it when it was defying gravity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
