1942 Packard Eight

3 speed with factory Overdrive

No Reserve Auction! One of the last (1942) Pre-War Packards. Clear California Title. It starts easily, runs nicely, does not smoke, overheat or make any nasty expensive noises. The overdrive works properly. It drives fine, and the brakes are good. The body had some rust issues in the past that have been repaired. The power top cylinders are in place but part of the vacuum plumbing on the firewall is missing. Patina is a polite way of saying the top material is old and worn, although it has the correct glass rear window. We just rebuilt the carburetor, and installed a new battery with the correct cables. A 6 volt alternator is installed place of the original generator, and it has a working 6 volt fuel pump. Five matching wide white wall tires are in quite good condition. The interior plastic is decent, with silver instruments featuring a trip meter, and lighted indicators for the factory turn signals. The dark green color is probably the third or fifth repaint. The chrome and glass are decent. The car is attractive, but you shouldn’t expect to win any car shows. On the other hand you will not worry about nicks, ice cream, or dog slobber while you enjoy driving the car. Please contact us with any questions and expect a truthful answer. We can also provide photos of any detail that you would like to see up close. Most importantly, you are invited to come see and drive the car at any time before the auction ends; but the high bidder will own the car AS-IS.
