1942 Packard One-Twenty Convertible Coupe - SOLD- St. Louis, Missouri 

 

Beautifully restored 1942 Packard One-Twenty Convertible Coupe with classic appeal everywhere you look! Painted in the two-tone iridescent shades of Sable Brown & Carlotta Brown with a gorgeous Brown & Beige leather combination interior! The 1940s Packard example, seen here, is riding on a 127” wheelbase with power coming from its original 282ci Straight 8 L-Head engine with correct Carter dual downdraft carburetor producing 125 horsepower. All is transferred through a column shifted 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive adding comfort at higher speeds with less engine stress. This stunning example began life in sunny, southern California and sold new from Earle C. Anthony Packard in Los Angeles on November 28th, 1941. It remained a solid, rust free example and went through a passionate restoration in 1996 when Massachusetts collector and body shop owner, Frank Finney, purchased it. Even after all these years, this Packard remains a remarkable car showcasing minimal visible wear, mainly around the entry points and seating areas. Front seatbelts have been added for safety, along with an auxiliary oil pressure gauge under the dash viewable to the driver, and an exhaust driven “wolf whistle” for parade use. This Packard Convertible Coupe is titled off its original engine #E312288D. It is very rare when a vehicle comes to market with a show ready appearance and proven drivability!
