[NOT MINE] 1918 1918 Packard Flatbed ($15,000.00) Barrington, IL.

[Terry Harper]

Pretty cool and not a bad price for an iconic Packard truck. Pneumatic tires are a plus on drivability though the rear tires look decidedly odd. 

 

Unfortunately for the antique truck world, Canton Bandag who for decades provided hard rubber tires, shut down in 2023.

That thing is def. cool. But its a lot of money for a paper weight. 15 mph! Not going to drive it anywhere but maybe around the parade ground. Good for a collection/museum but the average guy will need a large storage area and min. 150k worth of truck and trailer to move it around.

Totally impractical but I like it

Are those rear tires Ag type? The side lugs look like something you'd see around the farm. Cool truck!

The rear tires are uncountably 24" Ribbed agricultural implement tires. These would be less money but serve to run this truck at the rated Ag  weights and especially at the rated 15 mph. This truck must be one of the smaller 1.5 or 2 ton versions. I had a 1917 5 ton Packard truck years ago and it was a CHUNK! I also can't help but like it but certainly a display-parade truck.
