This vehicle has been driven occasionally during the summer months and in local parades, etc. It shows very nicely and always turns heads! As with any non-museum classic vehicle, there is minor wear to the paint (see pictures) and a few small scuff marks on the interior. However, this is a beautiful big steel beast with lots of attention grabbing chrome bling and it could be yours!
History:Produced by the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan during model years 1951 and 1952 and debuted as part of the fully redesigned Packard line, attributed to John Reinhart. Replacing the bulbous 1948-1950 Packards in the 22nd and 23rd Packard Series, Reinhart's High Pockets design was more formal than its predecessor, and would serve Packard until the end of the 1956 model year when true Packard production ceased.
All Packard 200 models came with twin horns, two sun visors, front and rear bumper guards, spare tire and jack set. Deluxe trim level included the appointments found on the standard models, and added chrome wheel rings, and turn indications as standard. White-wall tires and full-wheel covers were also extra.
Items which have since become standard to the auto industry since the late 1960s such as heater, radio, tinted glass, carpeting, etc., were all optional on the Packard, as well as other premium cars during that era. Packard also became the first car-maker to offer power-brakes in 1951. “Easamatic” as they were trademarked, were a product of Bendix and an exclusive to Packard.
This is a beautiful example of a true 1950s era Classic. Please feel free to bid and get a chance to win this fun car at a low reserve price!
