1939 PACKARD CONVERTIBLE. THIS WAS THE LAST OF THE TRUELY ART DECO PACKRDS, AS THEY CHANGED THE LOOKS DRAMATICLY IN 1940. GIVING THEM THREE GRILLS AND NOT AS CLASYTO SAYNICE RUST FREE BODY, WELL CARED FOR THROUGH THE MANY YEARS. THE MILES ARE SHOWING ONLY 48,188.9, AND LOOKING AT THE PEDLES AS WELL AS THE SPEEDO METER, AND CLOCK, I WOULD SAY THAT THE ORIGINAL MILES WERE CORRECT. I HAD OWNED THIS CAR TWICE NOW. I PURCHASED IT ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO, AFTER AN OLDER GENTLEMAN HAD PUT IT TOGETHER USING A BRAND NEW FORD CRATE ENGINE 5.0 AND A REBUILT C4 3 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, NEW CUSTOM BUILT DRIVE SHAFT AND A 9" FORD REAR AXLE. WE WANTED THAT BECAUSE MY BETTER HALF AND I LOVE OUR TWO HOUR EACH WAY CRUISES TO ST. AUGUSTINE AND BACK. SHE'S GOT POWER STEERING AS WELL AS POWER DISC. BRAKES AND DRIVES LIKE A DREAM ON THE HWY, AT 65 TO 75 MPH. WE GET ABOUT 20 MPG HWY AND 17 TO 18 MPG CITY. I HAD TO ADJUST THE ALIGNMEMNT BOTH FRONT AS WELL AS REAR, AS THE BUILDER DID NOT HAVE THE AXLES PLACED DEAD CENTER IN THE WHEEL WELLS. THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED, I PUT A BEUTIFULL STAINLESS STEEL & BILLIT BAJO STEERING WHEEL IN THE CAR, AND IT HAS A TILT STEERING COLUM. CASSETTE STEREO. THE ONLY THING NOT WORKING IS THE CLOCK IN THE GLOVE BOX, THE SPEEDO HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALY CALIBRATED, AND WORKS AS IT SHOULD. SOME PEOPLE LIKE ALL ORIGINAL PACKARDS, I WANT TO DRIVE MY CARS, AS I WANT TO LIVE LIFE, NOT JUST SHOW WHAT I HAVE. LETS JUST RELEARN HOW TO HAVE FUN FOLKS. THE PAINT IS AN OLDER PAINT JOB, BUT STILL LOOKS GOOD AND SHOWS WELL AT LOCAL CAR SHOWS. BODY DOSE NOT SHOW ANY RUST ISSUES, THE TOP IS OLD, HAS MINOR SNAP ISSUES, HOWEVER STILL DOSE THE JOB WELL OF KEEPING THE RAIN OUT. THIS CAR DRIVES AS A DAILY DRIVER, AND THATS WHAT I DO WITH MY CARS. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR GREAT VALUE IN A CAR THAT "WILL NEVER LOOSE VALUE" THEN THIS IS IT. I HAVE SET THE RESERVE LESS THAN 30 K. SO BID TO WIN, IF YOU WANT YOU CAN FLY IN AND DRIVE IT HOME, IT HAS A HEATER ORIGINAL IN THE CAR. IN FLORIDA ANY CAR OVER TEN TEARS OLD IS SAID TO BE EXEMPT ON THE MILES SO NO REAL WARRANTEES CAN REALISTICLY BE GIVEN ON THIS 85 YEAR OLD CAR. I STRIVE TO BE AS HONEST AS I CAN WHEN SELLING ANYTHING, THIS CAR IS NO EXEPTION, AS I SAID I HAVE OWNED IT TWICE, COMBIND YEARS ROUGHLY SEVEN TO EIGHT YEARS. I REQUIRE A NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT RIGHT AWAY OF ONLY 500.00. THIS COVERS THE COSTS INVOLVED. YOU ARE REQUIREDTO CONTACT ME FOR BID APROVAL BEFORE BIDDING IF YOU HAVE LESS THEN FIVE FEEDBACK SCORES. PLEASE ONLY BID TO BUY. ASK THE LITTLE WOMAN, AND GET ALL FUNDS IN PLACE FIRST. DONT PLAY GAMES, I NEED TO SELL THE CAR. THANKYOU GOD BLESS ALL OF AMERICA, HAVE QUESTIONS, CALL ME . IM WILLING TO TALK TO YOU. RON SINGLETON OCALA FL. 352-362-2972
