Description

Illness warrants sale of this rare 1940's classic. Can not care and put to good use, so need to find a new home.
Not many 1942 models were produced because Packard stopped vehicle production to focus on the WWII effort.
The vehicle is a driver in very good condition, as can be seen by the photos provided. Just need of a good cleaning and proper attention, but ready for car event use.
The stock 288 ci straight-eight flathead engine runs great with a three-speed electric over-drive transmission. Has the Electromatic clutch feature (shifting without clutch use once in motion). The gear ration has been changed to 3:92 from the stock 4:11, for higher speed cruising. Quiet single stock exhaust system. Idles smoothly and purrs down the road.
Generator changed to a 75 amp alternator with a new battery (has the stock 6-volt positive-ground system). Also has an electronic ignition.
Body is solid and straight. Does need new paint for show appeal. All trim attached and chrome is in good condition. The 1947 center grill matches the side grill design (see photo provided). 3-bullet hole stickers are located on the front left fender for humor (can be removed). Also there is a Betty Boop sticker on the edge of the right rear trunk (fender) to cover up a flaw in the paint (chipped surface).
Interior tastefully done with era style and fabric in mind. Vehicle is smoke-free. Has extra chrome for show appeal (steering column, heater and window ceils). Front and rear seat belts and turn signal system installed for safety. Has a large rear seat to include friends and grand children for cruising or parades. Old Yeller is an head turner, with lots of praise provided when out and about.
Glass in excellent condition, with the exception of left rear vent pane has a small crack.
Kenwood stereo with CD player and iPod connector installed with new speakers front and rear.
New Firestone tires including the spare. Wheels have been power-coated Packard logo red.
Extra parts, Packard books and shop manuals will be provided with the car, including stock rear fender skirts.
Vehicle also for sale locally, but will stop local sale with initial eBay bid. This rare Packard is priced to sell.
Transportation arrangements and cost will be the responsibility of the buyer. Car is located in Rainier, Oregon (97048). Vehicle is reliable and drivable but recommend transport by use of an enclosed carrier.
Any questions, call Don at (503) 556-4310.
Vehicle sold as-is.
Have sold numerous classic cars on eBay with no negative feedback received.
