1949 PACKARD EIGHT CLUB COUPE
Up for auction is a incredibly well preserved Packard. This car was delivered new June 19, 1949 to Ted G. Shafranko of Chicago, Illinois by Northside Motors. He rarely drove it and nearly always took the bus to work, where he was a machine operator for Inland Press. Mr. Shafranko kept all his yearly insurance policies though 1959 which are included in the sale. Ted then sold the car to his neighbor, Jerome who again rarely drove the car the next 22 years. In 1981 Jerome transferred the Packard to his son Mitch who then kept it the next 21 years. In 2002 the car was then sold to Mr. R. Williams who kept it the last 14 years. The paint is all original to the car. Packard named the color Egyptian Sand. The paint overall is magnificent. It has had some touch up which can be seen on the passenger side down low in one of the photos. Close attention shows some indentation. The original glass thoughout is excellent. The chrome has patina that overall shines well with some fading and light pitting in some areas. With such low miles the trunk, hood and doors shut as they did from the factory. The rubber body mouldings are still soft and good condition. The underside of the car is solid as a rock. The interior is all original and has held up beautifully. The carpets and rubber floor mats are unworn. The back rest on the passenger front seat has a one inch round hole that can be seen in one of the pics. It has a small patch over it that matches moderately well. The wood grain finish everywhere in the interior is astonishing considering that the finishes in automobiles of that era faded and rarely held up well. The interior chrome pieces are nice. The instrument gauges function well. The motor starts immediately, is very quiet and runs like a watch. The transmission feels close to new when shifting the gear handle. This car in the pictures has the original set of tires that came on the car new. Suprisingly it goes down the road just fine with these tires. Normally it runs on a complete extra set of new radials and factory correct Packard colored wheels to insure that nothing happens to the original tires.Those are included with car. Included is a copy of the original 1949 title when the Packard was purchased new. Also each of his insurance polices during his ownership. Also the original service policy, title holder, owners manual, keys and 1949 broucher. Here is an opertunity to buy one of the best preserved cars of any make or model during this era with 12, 408 miles.
