Vehicle Detail

This beautifully restored 1940 Packard Model 1807 Super 8 Touring Sedan is a true classic and a joy to drive. Rare and made of the highest quality original parts, true vintage car enthusiasts know that the Packards were the finest driving cars of their day, far exceeding the comfort, quality and performance of the more well-known brands like Cadillac and Ford. Even compared to a modern luxury car, this Packard is smooth, powerful and fun to drive with the interior roominess of a limousine. Take your wife or girlfriend on a special date with this vehicle, and she will feel like a celebrity from the golden age of cinema. Or treat your parents or loved ones by chauffeuring them to dinner on that special occasion in luxury and comfort. Or steal away on a Sunday afternoon on the back roads and feel how flawlessly this vehicle performs and what a joy it is to drive. It will turn heads wherever you go, and when you stop at yor favorite restaurant or watering hole, be prepared to answer questions and receive complements from its many admirers. Most gratifying of all is the respect and admiration you will recieve from even the most hardened bikers, who always give it a thumbs up. This Packard is not a 'show car', but a nice 'driver'. It has been restored by and is intended for the enthusiast who prefers to use and enjoy his toys. It has had recent brakework and upgrades, a new battery, and everything in the car, including the radio and heater, are in working order. The only blemish is on the left front headlamp casing, visible in the pictures accompanying this listing. This car was owned by my grandfather who passed away in 2007. It does not fit with my collector preferences and so I am motivated to sell it. This motivation is reflected in the price noted above. I estimate this car will be a good invesment for the next owner. Key attributes include: 138" wheelbase dark green Imron paint restored from nice original car Wilton wool carpets wool headliner new woodgrain dash & sills restored banjo wheel sidemounts new ww tires stainless exhaust chrome and all mechanical in excellent condition all receipts and spares
