May we have the attention of all Packard Aficionados?

1938 Packard 1668 Eight,  Here is a car that does not come to market often. Offered for sale is our 1938 Packard Rollston Town Car. We are not Packard experts, but from what we can tell it is a 1668 Eight All Weather Brougham by Rollston on a 127 inch wheelbase. We can find no reliable numbers, but we do have an article stating that Rollston built an average of 20 of these cars annually, so how many still exist?

For a brief history: Rollston was a custom coach builder for the auto industry located in New York. They survived the Depression, but were finally forced to close it’s doors in 1938 due to financial reasons. The company was reformed as the Rollson Company in September of 1938.They built 40 to 50 car bodies until their demise in 1941 due to World War II. This car becomes one of the very last units produced by the original Rollston Company.

With the help of Mr. Tom Cook, renowned Packard “guru” of Washington state, we purchased the vehicle in September of 2006. We were told the car came from a California estate and the accompanying paperwork showed a vehicle registration slip from Los Angeles.

The condition of the vehicle is very good to excellent. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would list the paint as an 8. A vast amount of the exterior chrome has been replated but the gas cap cover does show signs of minor pitting. The car appears to have the original wheel covers which are in very good condition, and the grill slats have been restored and are fully functional. All lighting appears to be original and functional and the car has been converted to a 12 volt system for ease of operation.

The interior of the car has been restored with what appears to be a period correct beige cloth and the rear folding jump seats are correct and functional. The original sound-powered microphone for front to rear communications is there, but not functioning. The front seat has been covered in a black vinyl, and is free from rips or tears, as is the front roof covering.

The vehicle has had a “vintage heat” system installed in the rear that can be removed. The front seat has the original Packard heater with the tags intact that is correct and functional.

The running gear is extra ordinary. The legendary Packard “straight eight” purrs as it did when new in 1938 with no unusual noises or smoking. The front suspension underwent a total rebuild with new king pins installed approximately 500 miles ago. The tires are a period-correct radial ply tire from Coker Tire and the brakes are fine.

The odometer currently reads 57,788; however, we make no statement to it’s accuracy.

We have tried to keep the description as honest and accurate as possible. The car is located in Lexington, Kentucky and is available for sale/viewing any time with an appointment. We can supply additional information, photos, or videos upon request.

Our offering price is $86,000

1930 Packard 740 - $169,900 - Cleveland, OH -

SEE THIS CAR AT HERSHEY, CAR CORRAL SPACES P-219 and P-220.

One of five known to exist. Stunning 100-point restoration, winner of every major award possible. Fully sorted, excellent to drive, and beautiful in every possible way. Absolutely the best!

This amazing Packard was purchased in pieces by a craftsman of the highest order, who spent many years restoring it to its current breathtaking condition. He’s the sort of fellow who loves to know how things work and has the patience and knowledge to figure it out. As a result, it was especially important to him to make sure every single component on the car functioned as it did in 1930, and in that regard he has succeeded magnificently. There’s not a single aspect of this remarkable car that isn’t better than new.

During the disassembly, he discovered original paint on the chassis components that matched its current dark blue fenders, making this one of the very rare cars that was, indeed, finished at the factory with a body-colored undercarriage. The contrasting lighter blue was discovered on the underside of the rumble seat lid and was faithfully reproduced, and the car today represents almost exactly what it would have looked like on March 13, 1930 when John Dailey, Jr. drove it home to Rockville, CT. Fit and finish work on the car are obviously show quality, with doors that fit precisely, a hood that swings on well-oiled hinges, and a rumble seat lid that feels almost effortless as it swings on its pivots. The paint was professionally sprayed with crisp masking between the two colors and a simple pinstripe to highlight the belt moldings. I’ve been over this car quite carefully and quite honestly cannot find a single flaw in the finish, a testament to both the quality of the workmanship and the care it has received since it was completed. All of the chrome was obviously restored to show standards, and it glitters like jewelry against the handsome bodywork.

The tan leather interior is sumptuous and expertly finished. The wood structure of the body and top was fully restored as needed, and the inside of the top is correctly finished with sail cloth sleeves over painted bows, as the convertible coupes were considered closed cars at the factory. The instrument panel was expertly woodgrained and fully rebuilt instruments reinstalled, all of them working properly including the liquid-filled fuel level gauge. The top has been folded once to confirm its operation, but it remains in as-new condition with no stretching, fading, pinch marks, or other demerits. Pull a knob behind the front seat and the rumble seat springs open gently, revealing matching tan leather upholstery and blue carpets with a footrest—even back seat passengers travel in first class in a Packard.

Packard’s smooth and powerful 384.5 cubic inch straight-8 was fully rebuilt and detailed, and it is likely better than new in many ways. Correct accessories, including the Detroit Lubricator carburetor, generator, and starter, all of which are wearing correct finishes and detailing. The engine starts easily, and a neat feature is the pre-oiler built into the choke. Pulling the choke knob diverts oil to ports in the cylinder walls to ensure the piston rings are sufficiently lubricated during cranking. Once the car is running, pushing in the choke restores normal oil flow to the rest of the engine, and it makes a nice, healthy 25 PSI of oil pressure at idle. And yes, that little system is working properly.

The 3-speed transmission is non-synchronized, but a quick double-clutch gets it into gear without issue and with all that creamy smooth torque, shifting is really superfluous anyway. The chassis was not painted dark blue as it was originally, one aspect of the restoration that the owner decided was just too much, and instead it wears the standard satin black that most production Packards used, although the finish is expertly applied and exactly right. The rear end looks big enough for a locomotive and rides on special springs and shackles that offer impressive ride quality, especially with that road-smothering 140-inch wheelbase. Four-wheel mechanical drum brakes are remarkably effective with long pedal travel that feels progressive and confidence-inspiring, even at speed. Standard gears were 4.69s, so it’s quite content to motor along at 45-50 MPH all day and does so with the most delightful purr from the stainless steel exhaust system. Six 7.00-19 Lester wide whitewall tires are fitted to optional painted disc wheels, which gives the big convertible a very sporting look that stands out.

Documented with owner’s manuals, shop manuals, a large album of restoration photos, and receipts, this magnificent Packard is as good as these cars can possibly be. It is rare in the world of 100-point show cars in that it is mechanically sorted and a delight to drive, as well as heart-stoppingly gorgeous. For the discerning buyer who insists on the very best, this car will never disappoint, and it is an ideal companion for CCCA Caravans or show competition, wherever your interests lie.

1951 Packard Patrician - $34,500 - Lakeland, FL -

Just arrived, this top of the line Packard from 1951 is an outstanding example

of the best luxury cars of the era. Packard has always been known as a

premium American brand and this car confirms the quality of their cars...

 

This Packard has a 1953/54 grill. We do not know why and are trying to

source the proper 1951 grill. Thanks for all the experts that let me know...

 

This beautiful original condition car was sold new Allentown, Pennsylvania

in 1951 and remained with the original owner for over fifty years. Pennsylvania

Owner #2 purchased the car about eleven years ago and continued its good

care until sold to Owner #3 in 2012 and brought to Florida. With only 59K miles

over the last 63 years, it remains an outstanding example of this iconic brand.

 

In 1951 and 1952, the automaker attempted to use a numeric naming structure

that designated Packard's least expensive models as Packard 200 and 200 Deluxe

while two-door hardtop and convertibles were designated Packard 250 and its

mid-range sedan the Packard 300.

 

The highest trim level available was the Packard Patrician 400. The Patrician 400

replaced the previous model year's Custom 8 model range. The car was easily

identified from other Packards by its chrome trim; in 1951 the model featured

three chrome ports on its rear fenders and in 1952 the car featured four chrome

ports. Patricians and 300s also sported a slightly revised grille which included

chrome "teeth" in its oval area in 1951.

 

The Patrician 400 was available only as a premium, four-door sedan, outfitted

with high-grade upholstery and chrome trimming within. With a list price of $3,662

it also was the most expensive regular Packard offered. The automobile rode upon

a 127-inch (3226 mm) wheelbase shared only with the 300 sedan. All other Packards

had a wheelbase of 122 inches (3099 mm).

 

Power for all Packards still came from their venerable in-line eight-cylinder engines.

200s used a 288 cu in  unit with 135 HP ; all others had a displacement of 327 cu in,

delivering 150 HP . The Patrician got the best engine Packard had to offer, too.

For unequaled smooth operation, its engine featured nine main bearings

instead of five as in the other engines without increase in power.

 

Original 327 cubic inch straight eight engine rebuilt factory automatic transmission

 

This car has had a very nice older repaint in excellent condition.

Correct Tan cloth interior in exceptional condition, original carpet, headliner

and dash. All original gauges in excellent condition.

 

Very nice all original chrome and stainless trim throughout.

 

Excellent factory wheel covers and newer white wall tires

1936 Packard Twelve - $245,000 - Detroit, MI -

This 1936 Packard Twelve 1407 Phaeton was purchased by the current owner,in about 2007. When it was purchased, it had just been removed from nearly 40 years of storage. Upon purchasing the Packard, the car was given a complete and frame off restoration. The restoration was completed in early 2009 and the car was shown at the Amelia Island Concours, the Meadowbrook Concours and the Glenmoor Gathering Concours where it received top awards at each event. After being shown, the car was put into climate controlled storage where it remained until this year. Since being removed from storage at the beginning of the year, the car has gone through an exhaustive and thorough mechanical and cosmetic servicing by a noted prewar restoration shop to insure that the car is not only ready to compete again in the show circuit but also to be a reliable and long distance tour car. The result is a car that not only looks amazing but drives amazing as well. The car is like new inside and out. The paint shows no signs of wear or aging. The chrome, the interior, the dashboard and other items still appear as new. The chassis and engine bay show virtually no signs of use and are extremely well detailed. Thee fit and finnish on this car is absolutely superb throughout and the overall presentation is superb and fresh. Mechanically, the car is tour ready. It runs and drives great and is an absolute pleasure to operate. It  really goes down the road nicely. Of course, the car is fitted with all of the desirable options including a later-fitted rear cowl and windshield assembly, dual side mounts with metal covers, spot light, etc. Included with the sale is an extensive collection of photographs documenting the car before and during restoration. Chassis Number: 921-204, Engine Number 904717, Firewall Number 2I9I92. The asking price is 245,000.00.  Please call 734-730-4274 or email: motoringicons@hotmail.com to schedule a viewing or for more information.

  • A resto-mod Packard fitted with an LS3 Corvette V-8; Updated with power steering, power disc brakes, and air conditioning, for added comfort; A highly capable machine, ready for touring and shows


Packard automobiles have long been appreciated for opulence, power, and integrity. However, today's collector may seek even more power and reliability, as they're looking to enjoy their cars on longer drivers and to beat a few newer cars in stoplight drag races. This Packard has been fully reconstructed with those goals in sight, as it features modern technology yet still retains its vintage elegance.

The car was fully disassembled, and the front frame was modified to accommodate an LS3 Corvette engine with a custom camshaft and builder that is estimated at 560 horsepower and mated to a Hydramatic four-speed transmission. Air conditioning was added, along with power steering and power disc brakes, in an effort to reign in some of that power. The four wire wheels are mounted with wide whitewall radial tires, while a restored trunk has been set atop the rear trunk rack for the long road ahead. The gorgeous ebony body is straight and true and adorned with all-new chrome and trim, as well as dual side-mounts and Trippe safety lights.

Packards have always been known for their lavish upholstery, and in that tradition, this interior has received a full red leather package, as well as custom Packard Classic Instruments gauges, a billet tilt column and steering wheel, an overhead console with a Pioneer sound system, and a spacious rear compartment that is complete with foot rests. This classic Packard is clean and ready to show, from the leather headliner to the custom chassis, and it sets a new standard for the perfect road trip or weekend getaway.

  • Formerly the personal car of Packard expert Marc Ohm
  • Recent quality restoration
  • A CCCA Full Classic


Packard's Ninth Series line for 1932 was comprised of a curious mix. At the bottom was a new lower-priced car, the Light Eight Model 900. It was not much smaller than other Packards (just two inches shorter than the Standard Eight), but it was indeed lighter, tipping the scales between 3,930 to 4,115 pounds, compared to the larger car's 4,317 to 4,735 pounds. More importantly, it sold between $1,750 and $1,795, which was a good $700 less than comparable Standard Eight body styles. At the upper end, the company brought back the Twin Six, as a reprise of the 19161922 flagship, but it had a wholly new engine that was designed by Cornelius Van Ranst, whose credits included the Cord L-29. This new Packard was offered with no fewer than 21 body styles and was priced between $3,745 and $7,950.

Between those two extremes lay the traditional Packard territory, the Standard Eight, on wheelbases of 129.5 and 136.5 inches and selling for $2,485 to $3,450, and the Deluxe Eight, which used the chassis from the Twin Six and was priced from $3,690 to $4,285. Of these, the more popular was the Standard Eight, which, at 7,659 cars, furnished the great majority of Packard sales.

Deluxe Eight customers had the greatest choice of body styles, as it had no fewer than twenty-seven, of which fourteen were catalogue customs, five were from Dietrich, and the others were built in Packard's own custom shops. Standard Eight buyers, however, were not starved for choice, as thirteen factory bodies were available. New for the year was body style 509, a snug convertible coupe with roll-up side windows and a rumble seat, which Packard called the Coupe Roadster. Its low-folding convertible top and sleek lines were inspired by a semi-custom design by LeBaron, and it was used on a handful of 1930 chassis.

The 902 Coupe Roadster offered here was reportedly a long-time California car that was delivered on August 27, 1931, and spent half a century in storage, after which it was acquired by the previous owner, highly regarded Packard restorer Marc Ohm. The car was beautifully restored by Mr. Ohm fewer than five years ago, and it presents very well, with its black paint and burgundy leather upholstery. It was equipped with dual side-mount spares with metal covers and has jeweled headlights, a Packard cormorant radiator ornament, and a trunk rack at the rear. Importantly, as a very early Ninth Series Packard, it has the desirable long-legged, four-speed transmission that was discontinued later in the year.

The paint exhibits a deep shine, and the brightwork shows scarcely any flaws. The seats have a few wrinkles but virtually no wear. The dashboard and engine compartment have been meticulously restored and are entirely sanitary and correct. This Packard is a Classic Car Club of America Full Classic, and as such, it is eligible for all club events and CARavan tours.

This Packard was restored by a knowledgeable authority of the marque, and it is utterly superb.

1938 Packard Eight - $68,995 - Charlotte, NC - In the 1930s just about anybody who was anyone owned a Packard. Their magical blend of luxury engineering and performance are still legendary and cars like this 1938 Packard Eight convertible are near the top of every pre-war era collector's wish list. There's no arguing that this is a spectacular looking car. And when you factor in the handsome burgundy paint with red pin stripping that lays flat on the fenders the appeal becomes quite astounding. It's a truly massive and rakish piece of art with a stunning top-down profile that belongs in a parade. Finish work is up to the standards that you'd expect from a senior Packard with four doors that fit well and glossy paint that will look great on the show field or on tour. Dual sidemounts make it look that much more impressive along with a rear-mounted trunk that adds valuable storage capacity. Correct chrome bumpers amber fog lights and thermostatically-controlled radiator shutters add to the visual eye-candy. The interior offers a level of vintage authenticity with elegant burgundy leather seating. Garnish moldings and hardware help keep the original theme and all the controls on the dash including the steering wheel and gauges are all Packard items. Even the under-dash heater is an accessory unit that's still hooked up and functional. The long floor shifter features a knob that matches the large diameter banjo steering wheel. There's expansive legroom for the rear passengers and the canvas top requires a couple people to raise or lower but it's worth it because it stacks neatly behind the seat for a sporty open-air look. The 282 cubic inch Packard straight-8 is known for being torquey smooth reliable and still embodies all the precise tolerances and impeccable engineering for which Packard was famous. It spins to life easily and idles so smoothly you may have to check to be sure it's still running. A 3-speed manual transmission propels the big convertible as it accelerates reasonably well and cruises at 50 MPH without difficulty. Brakes are 4-wheel mechanical drums so plan your stops accordingly and 4-ply whitewall BF Goodrich Silvertown tires maintain a vintage look and comfortable ride. This Packard has been meticulously maintained and includes a data book with specs and an owner's manual. There's no doubt that when you pull up in this convertible that people will stop and stare with plenty of compliments will follow. Call today! This vehicle is located in our Charlotte showroom.
