The body is solid and straight, showing no evidence of filler, and the paint presents beautifully. The odometer reads just 20,381 miles, and the vehicles originality extends to its interior, which retains its factory houndstooth upholstery, woodgrain trim, original AM radio, and even the plastic seat cover on the front bench. Mechanically, this Packard has benefited from significant recent servicing. The car runs and drives well, with rebuilt brakes, an original straight-8 engine, and a smooth-shifting 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Because the car has not been driven much in recent years, there are minor drivetrain seepages common to classic vehicles that sit for extended periods. The original headliner is loose in some areas, and there is rust present in the spare tire cavity-typical aging issues that do not detract from the vehicles overall strong condition and originality. Overall, this Packard is a beautifully maintained survivor with an honest presentation and extensive documentation. A rare opportunity to own a highly original 1940s Packard in impressive condition. HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN A HIGHLY ORIGINAL AND ELEGANT 1940s PACKARD IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION!
