Packard, once a prominent American automotive manufacturer, has largely receded into obscurity. From 1899 to 1954, Packard operated as an independent automaker, but financial struggles eventually led to a merger with Studebaker in 1954. By 1962, the Packard nameplate had vanished from the American automotive landscape. However, examples like this 1957 Packard Clipper serve as reminders of Packard's legacy. Meticulously restored with the odometer reading just below 26,000 miles, this sedan showcases the elegance and charm of the era soaring 50's era.
Packard Motor Car Company, founded in 1899, is another jewel of a brand we lost, leaving only its admirable creations to remember them by. Before World War II, Packard was the dominant luxury car manufacturer. Owning a Packard was a status symbol, and surviving specimens can be seen in museums and car exhibitions. Packard was in strong financial shape to proceed with their new car models after turning 100% of their output to a war production to make aviation engines. As a result, a number of sublime Packard models saw the light of day, including the Packard Patrician, which also became the top-shelf Packard for that year. Today we have none other than a 1953 Packard Patrician for sale in outstanding condition in our inventory. Its odometer reads 35,000 miles and it is housed in California. It has been stated that the seller is unsure if it has been rolled over.
During its heyday, Detroit was home to America’s automotive giants. The city was booming due to it’s focus in churning out the best automobiles. Amongst the giants, a small manufacturer was making its mark in American automotive history as well. The Packard motor company was established in 1899, and the pre-war period were Packard’s golden years. Packard believed that the greatest luxuries their customers could enjoy were mechanical quality, refinement, and reliability. Thus, they ensured that every car that left the factory was of extremely high quality with their endless pursuit to push the envelope in terms of engineering and using on the best quality materials. This mantra ultimately proved when you drive a Packard as you were driving the greatest luxury car on the road. Owning a Packard definitely meant that you had made it in the world and was looked upon as a prestigious accolade. Due to its status Packard cars became a favorite amongst the rich and powerful. European royalty, celebrities and even global leaders’ choice of car would be a Packard. In modern days you would rarely see a Packard show up on auction due to their rarity as most cars can only be found looking all shiny and polished at car shows, museums, and private collections worldwide but when they do come up for sale, they raise many eyebrows due to the prices they fetch. The car we have on sale right now incorporates the best of Packard in a modern context and comes in the form of this beautiful 1948 Packard Coupe Restomod. The build is reported to be a high-end professional endeavor with no expense spared.
Back in the golden age of motoring, driving a Packard told the world that you were a discerning driver. The company was known for its luxurious offerings. Before the war, they had competed with Cadillac for being known as the pinnacle of American luxury. The Packard name has long stood for quality and luxury, with the company carving out a niche for themselves in the upmarket car game. This 1948 Packard DeLuxe Eight Sedan was part of the Packard lineup during the post-World War II era. The Sedan featured a streamlined design language typical of other luxury sedans of the era. Inside, there was copious space, with rear-seat comfort and luggage capacity two key design factors. Our featured car is powered by a 288ci inline-8 engine and is reported as an all-original example.
The Packard Motor Company was one of the oldest American automobile manufacturers. Founded by the Packard Brothers in 1899, it quickly established itself as a luxury brand at the forefront of providing cutting-edge features at the time. Sadly, the company merged with Studebaker, and the brand became defunct by 1958. That's why cars like this 1940 Packard One-Ten are essential pieces of American automotive history and are highly sought after as a result. This example is in excellent condition and would be a lovely addition to any discerning classic car enthusiast's garage.
If you wanted luxury like no other, and to blend with those high social classes back in the 1930s a Packard was the way to go. They were often referred to as the pre-eminent luxury car before World War 2 struck. Owning a Packard even today is a treat and a sure-fire head turner when you are out and about on those leisurely drives. Whilst a convertible is typically a two-door, why not go for a rare bird in the shape of this 4-door convertible 1938 Packard Eight Series 1601 from Pennsylvania? This can be your way of turning back the clock with class and sheer luxury.
The historic American luxury automaker, Packard, holds a special place in automotive history, despite going defunct in 1959. Once a revered private company, it merged with Studebaker in 1954 to form Studebaker-Packard before eventually fading away. Packard was known for its pioneering innovations, introducing many automotive "firsts" such as air conditioning, the modern steering wheel, and 12-cylinder engines. While not widely recognized by all enthusiasts, those who are familiar with Packard truly appreciate its legacy. It is for this reason that the 1924 Packard 226 Roadster Convertible Restoration is bound to capture the attention of discerning petrolheads.
