Note From the Seller:

* During the Height of The Great Depression, Packard Motor Company Produced a Series of Incredibly Well Engineered and Luxurious Cars Fitted with Refined Coachwork from Some of the Most Prestigious Coachbuilders. This Formula Must Have Worked, as Packard was one of the Few Luxury Automakers to Survive What was Surely the Toughest Economic Times the U.S. had Ever Seen. Amazingly, Packard Outsold the Combined Output of All of its Direct Competitors Combined. Besides Being in Excellent Financial Health Heading into the Uncertainty of the 1930s, Packard Weathered the Storm by Continual Improvements to its Cars. On the Exterior, the Car Features Chrome Bumpers, Dual Side-Mount Spare Tires, A Rumble Seat and Red Wire Wheels with Chrome Center Caps and Shod with Wide White Wall Tires. The Packard Also has Ride Control, Bijur Lubrication, Semi-Elliptic Suspension, Mechanical Brakes, Heavy Vibration Dampening Bumpers and a New Radiator that was Installed at a 5-Degree Angle, Plus a New Sloped Grille with Chrome Vertical Bars and Shutters, Which Were Thermostatically Controlled to Open to Close Based on the Amount of Heat Being Generated by the Engine. To Own a Packard was a Ticket to Possession of a Grandiose Automobile, Built to Deliver Members of the Upper Class to Their Destinations with Grace and Style.
