Original and authentic example of the most desirable PACKARD Sedan of 1940.
This is a time capsule that can be driven with confidence and is guaranteed to be a people's favorite at any gathering of car enthusiasts.
Packard was the great American car of the 1930's and 1940's. The Club sedan is considered by many collectors to be the most beautiful of the various closed model designs of the decade. The 127 wheelbase accentuates the long hood, short deck design highlighted by a unique split rear glass and the classic Packard grill out front. The 1940 Packard, 9-main bearing, straight eight is considered one of the great automobile engines of all time. It is amazingly smooth with torque to spare. The 3-speed manual transmission shifts perfectly through its column mounted lever. Original paint. Packard was also known for their effortless steering plus independent, coil spring front suspension, hydraulic brakes and incredibly comfortable seating. Drive a Packard and it will be easy to understand why owning one was the height of luxury and comfort 75 years ago.
Recognized as a Full Classic by the Classic Car Club of America (CCCA), the Packard brand is the most honored manufacturer in that prestigious club. Only six of this model Packard are listed in the CCCA membership. This car would be an excellent candidate for judging in the Preservation Class.
The car represents an investment in a rare, original example of a very popular make that will appreciate in value particularly in the hands of someone who will preserve it and drive it.
Recently went through the fuel system including removing and hot tanking the gas tank and then coated it inside with a sealer. Installed a new mechanical fuel pump with an electric (primer) pump. Also rebuilt the carburetor and went through the brake system. Rebuilt the wheel cylinders. Powder coated and installed new Diamond Back radial tires. The car runs and drives like a dream. Don't miss your opportunity to own this original, magnificent Packard without breaking the bank!
Car is located in Bastrop, Texas. Buyer is responsible for pick up and/or Transport. No warranty. Sold as is.
