Vehicle Detail
Selling this 1940 Packard, 160, Series 1803, Club Sedan for NO RESERVE. It was a fresh barn find. The estate has asked me to assist in selling this fine piece of American Machinery. Packard's were commonly referred to as the American Rolls Royce. This pre-war beauty was kept in a heated garage. It was one of four Packard's to complete the Packard Challenge, three years ago. Since then, the elderly owner has kept this gem in solitude under cover. It is currently being sorted, new battery, oil change and washed. Packard's were driven by the well-healed class of America. Think, politicians, the Hollywood elite and the wealthy Americans that comprised the upper-crust of American society. This particular Packard is the Club Sedan. It has suicide doors that open out. The interior is very nice with the exception of the dash pieces, they have curled due to age and heat(see photo and video). However, they are readily available and have been reproduced. The door panels and headliner, along with the seats are very nice too. The undercarriage is clean and RUST-FREE. The chrome still shines bright and has some minor pitting. The paint although shiny has various chips and cracks(see video and photos). I have described this Packard like I would like it described to me. The videos do not hide anything. Everything blemish and defect has been disclosed. The Packard also rides on wide whitewall tires. All the hubcaps are present as is the vintage and correct 1940 California license plate. It has always been a West Coast car. It has a clean title and is ready for the next owner to take it to the next level. As with all my auctions, a few requirements. First, NO PAYPAL. Second, any and all bidders with less than 10 feedback, need to email me prior to bidding with their full contact information, name and telephone number or your bid will be cancelled and your ID blocked from additional bidding. Third, you are bidding to own, not make excuses. Once the auction is over and the reserve met, you are the new owner. Please have all funds available to complete your purchase. Also selling in AS-IS, Where-Is condition with NO Warranties, expressed or implied. This is a 73 year old vehicle and although looks nice, it is not Showroom Fresh. So, with a great Yippe Kai Yay, Let the auction begin. Any and all bidder wanting a buy it now, please feel free to email. Thank you for your interest. Check my feedback and bid with confidence, I've sold vehicles on ebay since 1999. Vehicle is also advertised locally and seller reserves right to end auction early and cancel all bids if sold outside of ebay.
